Help for Many Keloids!

Posted by ricksraleigh @ricksraleigh, Oct 21, 2016

As I grow older, more keloids appear on my chest an back! I know that if I get them removed, they probably will come back larger! I am scared to do low level radiation on my chest and back!

Hello @ricksraleigh,

I understand your frustration; keloids can have many different causes that can vary from person to person.
I found two very good articles, from Mayo Clinic that were published in the Chicago Tribune, Here are the links:

Several Methods Can Stop Wildly Growing Keloids: http://trib.in/2eC9ltH

I also found this research publication that goes over some possible treatments/drugs available:

Have you tried speaking with a dermatologist?
