Keloid Scar Treatment Treatment in Johor Bahru

Rawatan Parut Keloid

Keloids are overgrown, raised scars that extend beyond the boundary of the original wound. They result from excessive collagen production during wound healing and are more common in people with darker skin tones, making them particularly prevalent in Malaysia. Keloids can occur after any skin injury including cuts, burns, acne, piercings, vaccinations, and surgical incisions. Unlike normal scars, keloids do not regress over time and may continue growing. They can cause itching, pain, and significant cosmetic distress. Treatment options include steroid injections, silicone sheets, cryotherapy, laser, and surgical excision.

Symptoms of Keloid Scar Treatment

✓Raised, thickened scar tissue that extends beyond the wound boundary

✓Pink, red, or purple discolouration in the early stages

✓Itching and tenderness of the keloid

✓Keloid continues growing over time

✓Skin tightness or restriction of movement if near a joint

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor early after any significant wound or surgical incision, especially if you have a history of keloid formation. Early treatment of forming keloids is more effective than treating established ones. Seek assessment for any growing, itchy, or painful scar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can keloids be permanently removed?▼

Keloid removal is challenging because surgery alone has a high recurrence rate of 50-100%. The best outcomes come from combining surgical excision with post-operative steroid injections, radiotherapy, or silicone therapy. Our doctors will discuss realistic expectations and refer to a specialist for complex keloids.

Are steroid injections painful for keloids?▼

Intralesional steroid injections cause brief stinging discomfort during injection. Local anaesthetic cream can be applied beforehand to reduce discomfort. Most patients tolerate injections well. Multiple sessions are usually needed every 4-6 weeks for 3-6 months. Results show gradual flattening and softening of the keloid.

How do I start keloid treatment at Klinik Muhibbah?▼
