For keloids that are just starting, focus on easing pulling on the skin and calming inflammation. You can try paper tape, silicone gel sheets, or compression wraps/garments.

If the area starts to feel firm or thicker, switch to a steroid tape or patch.
 
Move up to steroid injections if any of these happen:
  • The keloid gets bigger quickly
  • You have strong pain or itch
  • Over-the-counter options haven’t helped after a few weeks

There is no single “gold standard” for keloid treatment — a multimodal approach is recommended. Combining surgery with postoperative radiotherapy lowers recurrence more than using either one alone; among radiation options, brachytherapy shows the lowest reported recurrence. Using 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) together with triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) also reduces recurrence more than TAC alone.

Keloids are fueled by chronic dermal inflammation and can extend beyond their original boundaries. They are often accompanied by pain and itching, which can significantly affect quality of life — therefore, monitoring and treatment are recommended rather than leaving them untreated.

Start with conservative treatment and intensify if needed: begin with steroid tape or patches, then move to steroid injections if the lesion keeps growing. In suitable cases, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) combined with triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) can be used. Cryotherapy may be considered for selected patients.

If surgery is planned, it should be combined with postoperative radiotherapy and tension-reducing techniques to minimize recurrence.

The available evidence shows that keloids are benign lesions, not cancers. However, malignant tumors such as dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans can sometimes be mistaken for keloids, so a biopsy is recommended if there is any doubt.

In addition, there have been a few rare case reports of malignancy developing after radiotherapy for keloids, though such occurrences are extremely uncommon.

Our specialized Keloid Treatment Center is conveniently located in [Şehir/Semt Adı], making it easily accessible for patients looking for expert scar management and advanced treatment options.
