A dermatologist can inject kenalog directly into keloid scars to flatten out the scar, take away the redness and eliminate the pain. I had the injections in keloid scars from my mastectomies. I received injections every few months. Each time they would stop the pain for a few months. After 2.5 years of injections the scars were flat, light colored and most importantly were no longer causing horrible shooting pains all day long.

@californiazebra , i wish i had known about this. I had a hip replacement in January 2023. The scar from that incision is red and raised. So far , i haven’t noticed any pain, but it is unsightly.
