Keloids are caused
due to skin injuries like surgical incisions, traumatic wounds, vaccination
sites, burns, eruptions of acne, chickenpox etc. Some people are having
tendency to form keloids every time they are injured.
Conventional line of
treatment consists of surgical removal of the keloid. It is not unusual
for Keloids to reappear after they have been removed surgically and
sometimes this Keloid is larger than previous one. Local injections of corticosteroids
is also employed in the treatment of Keloids. But this also rarely help the
patient. Size of the Keloids may be reduced by freezing
(Cryotherapy), external pressure, laser treatments, radiation etc. with some
success rate.
Keloids are very well
treated with homeopathy. No surgical procedure is required. No injections
are given. No creams or lotions are applied. Only oral medications are given
without any diet restrictions. After starting the treatment, the Keloids
starts to shrink slowly. One more advantage of homeopathic treatment is that
it removes the tendency of having recurrent Keloids. Moreover all
homeopathic medicines are safe, natural, easy to administer and without any
adverse effects. If you have any specific question about your condition, please
