Hello,

Keloid has a tendency for reoccurrence despite best treatment. Intralesional steroid help in reducing the size of keloid as well in preventing reoccurrence.

The side effects include pain, local site infection etc. But not occur in each and every patient. You will be given triamcinolone injection in keloid. So undergone steroid injection as per your doctor opinion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
