Keloid treatment

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions addressing linear scars, depressed scars, keloid scars, hypertrophic scars, and other facial reconstructive topics. (Of note, Dr. Lam no longer accepts medical insurance so he rarely manages cancer reconstruction or trauma anymore.)

Keloid treatment

Postby sdal » Sat Jan 23, 2010 10:37 pm

Hi Dr. Lam,

I have a 10 yr old keloid on my chest and was wondering if you treat this area? I've tried many different treatments and various doctors and did find someone that was able to flatten my keloid completely. But I am still unhappy about the appearance of a scar, although flat, is still quite large, red and a different texture to the surrounding area. I'm looking for a treatment that can remove it completely as if it never existed, is this possible with your technique of incision followed by immediate radiation? Thanks!

that may be possible. however, i have limited my practice to the head and neck region entirely. i am sorry about that. i hope you find the right physician to help you.
best,
