hello
to treat keloids is very challenging because they may result in a new keloid even larger than the original one. but in the most case the teratment is effective. you can try to do such treatments:
Cryotherapy
Surgery.
Pulsed dye laser
Skin needling
Subcision
recently is using PRP( plasma rich platels) therapy injection to keloids with good results.
