I had laser surgery for two keloids on my shoulders back in 2009, but after the procedure, they grew five times bigger. Now they keep getting larger and cause a sharp, pricking pain. I've tried cortisone injections for over a year and silicone gel sheets, but nothing's helped. Are there any other proven treatments to stop the growth and ease the pain?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
