Keloid Removal Treatment Options
Keloids are raised scars that appear on the skin after a wound has healed. Their treatment varies depending on the scar's size and response to initial treatments. Here's an overview of the treatment options based on the specific content provided:
Non-Invasive Treatment Options
These are usually the first line of treatment for keloids, especially when they are not too large or severe:
- Steroids: Often used to reduce inflammation and slow the growth of keloid scars.
- Laser Therapy: Helps to flatten the keloid scar and reduce redness.
- Pressure Therapy: Involves applying pressure to the scar to prevent it from growing larger.
- 5FU Injections: 5-fluorouracil is injected to interfere with the keloid's growth.
Surgical Treatment Options
Surgery is considered when keloids do not respond to less invasive treatments:
- Keloid Removal Surgery: This procedure involves the surgical excision of the keloid scar tissue. Dr. Spence in Orlando performs this surgery with precision to ensure complete removal of the scar.
Post-Surgical Treatment
To prevent the recurrence of keloids after surgery, additional treatments might be necessary:
- Superficial Radiation Therapy: Often combined with surgery, this therapy helps to reduce the chance of keloids returning.
Dr. Spence offers a comprehensive approach to treating keloids, starting with less invasive methods and progressing to surgical removal if necessary, followed by preventive measures to minimize recurrence.
