Keloids are large thick scars that don’t stop growing and keep getting larger with time. Moreover, they might seem quite unsightly. If you are looking for ways to get rid of keloids, we have got you covered. These benign fibrous tumors of the skin are usually irregularly shaped, pink, have a smooth appearance, and keep increasing in size (1), (2). Hence, you may want to get rid of them naturally. While the home remedies listed below may not help you with how to get rid of a keloid completely, they may help you deal with the symptoms better. Continue reading to know more.

A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted on 972 individuals with excessive scarring (keloids or hypertrophic scars) and compared to 229,106 controls. Out of the 972 individuals, females (65% vs 55%) and a lower proportion of White ethnicity (86% vs 95%) had excessive scarring when compared to the controls.

What Are Keloids?

Keloids are fibrous growths due to abnormal wound healing in response to skin trauma or inflammation (1). These raised scars occur where the skin has healed and can be bigger than the original wound. Though keloids can appear anywhere on the body, they are commonly found on cheeks, earlobes, chest, and shoulders. However, not all scars that form after an injury are keloids. Keep reading to know how a keloid scar looks.

Key Takeaways

  • Keloids are thick scars caused due to scar tissue deposition, usually following an injury or incision.
  • Overproduction of collagen and cytokines forms keloids. Most keloids keep growing and become unsightly and uncomfortable.
  • You can use home remedies to treat keloids using ingredients like apple cider vinegar, aloe vera gel, vitamin E oil, tea tree oil, onion extract, silicone sheets, etc.
  • Medical treatment for keloids involves injection, surgery, laser, or radiotherapy.
  • Early care of wounds and proper treatment can prevent scarring and keloid formation.

Symptoms Of Keloids

Keloid scars may develop as early as 1 to 3 months or even a year after the injury. The characteristics of a keloid scar are as follows:

  • Flesh-colored or hyperpigmented lesion
  • Raised scar with a flat surface
  • It can be soft, lumpy, rubbery, or hard
  • Itchy, painful, and tender
  • It may become darker as it grows

Any type of wound that leaves behind scars. However, certain factors may cause overgrowth and keloid scar. Read on to know what causes keloid scars.

What Causes Keloid Scars?

Wound healing occurs in three stages: inflammatory, fibroblastic, and maturation. Keloid scars develop when the fibroblastic phase persists longer and unchecked. The connective tissues overreact, resulting in an overproduction of collagen and cytokines, forming keloid scars (1). Some of the common skin injuries that can cause keloid scarring are:

  • Acne scars
  • Ear piercing
  • Surgical wounds
  • Scratches
  • Chickenpox
  • Burns
  • Insect bites
  • Tattoos
  • Vaccination sites

Annesha Adams, a lifestyle content creator, struggled with Keloids since she was 14 and shared her journey in her video. She says, “I have one keloid in my ear and one at the side of my leg (i).” She further adds that they look like 3D scars that do not heal at the same level as your skin, grow in size, and are itchy. Annesha further narrates, “You can get your keloid from any abrasion to your skin like piercing, that’s how I got my keloid.” She has been using steroid injections to treat it.

Some people might be at more risk of developing keloids. The risk factors include:

  • People with a darker skin tone
  • People of African, Asian, and Hispanic descent
  • Pregnant people
  • Teenagers going through puberty
  • People with a family history of keloids

Keloids are hard to get rid of, but you may try some home remedies and medical treatments to shrink or soften them and promote skin healing. Keep reading to find out how.

While there is little evidence to support its ability to shrink keloid size or improve scar tissue, acupuncture may help control pain or inflammation around the keloid.

These home remedies are easy, effective, and can help in scar treatment. However, they may not work for everyone. In such cases, it is better to consult a doctor for medical treatments.

Medical Treatments For Keloids

Removing keloids is not easy, and doctors often use a combination of more than one dermatology treatment for best results. The treatment options for keloids are as follows:

  • Corticosteroid Injections: It may help shrink the scar and reduce the symptoms of itching and burning.
  • Cryotherapy: It involves freezing the scar tissue to reduce the size and hardness of the scar.
  • Surgical Excision: This surgical removal method involves cutting out the keloid through surgery. In most cases, the keloids may grow back if steroid injections and radiotherapies do not follow the surgery.
  • Radiotherapy: It may help prevent the keloids from growing back after the surgery.
  • Laser: This treatment helps flatten the keloid.

Other treatments like using silicone gel sheets, intralesional botox, or fluorouracil may also help reduce the size and improve the appearance of keloids. However, since treating keloids is not easy, it is always best if you can prevent them. Here are a few tips.

Prevention Tips

  1. Avoid body piercings, tattoos, and other cosmetic skin procedures as there are more chances of keloids developing after these procedures.
  2. Treat skin scars immediately rather than leaving them to heal on their own.
  3. Cover a new wound with petroleum jelly and a nonstick bandage. This pressure therapy helps prevent or reduce scarring by putting pressure on the healing wound.

protip_icon Quick Tip
Avoid picking or scratching your scars or wounds to reduce your risk of developing keloids.
Proper wound care is essential to prevent scarring and keloids. However, if you notice tissue overgrowth, do not panic and consult a doctor.

Living With Keloids

Keloids are benign and may not need treatment. However, sometimes, the overgrowth may cause emotional distress. There is nothing wrong if you do not want to remove your keloid scars. If you feel they are affecting your daily life, causing pain and discomfort, you should consult a dermatologist to get them removed. These treatments can help minimize their appearance and reduce the pain and itchiness.

Keloids are thick, raised scars on the skin that may grow bigger with time. While keloids are benign, you may choose to get rid of them for aesthetic or cosmetic reasons. Effective and simple home remedies to reduce the appearance of keloid scars include using apple cider vinegar, grapefruit seed extract, honey, aloe vera gel, garlic, baking soda, or lemon. Remember to conduct a patch test on your skin with your chosen remedies before applying it to the keloid to minimize the risk of adverse reactions. To prevent the formation of keloids, tend to a wound as soon as it starts healing by keeping it moisturized and evenly pressed. You need to follow the remedies for keloids diligently and regularly as keloids can be stubborn and take a while to disappear or fade in appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I flatten my keloid?

Dr. Emily Wood, MD, a board-certified dermatologist, says, “Yes, numerous methods exist to treat keloids. Typically, a combination of injections of Kenalog and 5-fluorouracil and laser can dramatically improve keloids.”

Should I be worried about keloids?

Dr. Wood says, “Keloids themselves are not worrisome, although they can be painful. If you have a rapidly growing or changing keloid, I recommend getting it checked to ensure it is not a rare type of cancer that can sometimes mimic a keloid called dermatofibrosarcoma protruberans.”

Can keloids turn cancerous?

Dr. Natalie Kash, MD, FAAD, a board-certified dermatologist, says, “Although true keloids do not usually turn cancerous themselves, there are other conditions, such as cancers, that can look like a keloid. Thus, I would recommend having any concerning skin lesion checked out by a dermatologist to get an accurate diagnosis before assuming what it is and trying to treat it at home.”

Does massaging help keloids?

According to Dr. Kash, “In some cases, massage can help keloids; however, in other cases, chronic rubbing or friction can actually cause the keloid to grow.”

Can Vaseline treat keloids?

According to Dr. Wood, “Vaseline does not treat keloids. However, it will not harm keloids if applied.”

Are keloid scars contagious?

A keloid scar is not contagious at all. It is the result of skin injury that you have suffered personally and will spread with contact.

Are Keloid Scars Contagious?

A keloid scar is not contagious at all. It is the result of skin injury that you have suffered personally and will spread with contact.

Are keloids dangerous?

No, they are not dangerous. They mostly develop at a site of a previous skin injury and can be treated easily.

Will I need surgery to get rid of the keloid?

You may need surgery if the keloid is big and does not reduce in size with home remedies. Consult your doctor to get more clarity on the issue.

Will an over-the-counter cream help keloid?

Yes, an over-the-counter cream may help reduce the appearance of the keloid. However, it is best to consult your doctor before applying any creams.

Can I get rid of a keloid on my piercing?

Yes, a keloid on the piercing can be removed by surgical excision.

What happens if you scratch a keloid?

Scratching a keloid may make it grow due to the excess growth of scar tissue.

Is it good to massage keloid scars?

Massaging a keloid scar may not affect or reduce its appearance and size.

Can you pop a keloid?

No, you should not pop a keloid. Keloids do not have any deposits that you can pop out. Moreover, picking or “popping” a keloid can increase the risk of infection.

Does salt water reduce keloids?

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that salt water can reduce keloids. However, many users claim that washing the scar with sea salt water can help with the inflammation on the site.

Can you cut off a keloid with scissors?

No. Slicing or cutting off a keloid increases the risk of an even bigger keloid developing on the same site.

What are the risks of keloid treatment?

Risks associated with keloids include infection, skin discoloration, scarring, and recurrence, especially after laser treatments or surgery. Treatments may hurt, slow down healing, and in some cases make the keloid look worse. If you notice any of these symptoms, please consult a doctor immediately.

How long does it take for a keloid to heal after treatment?

Depending on the treatment plan and individual factors, recovery time from keloids can range from a few weeks to several months. While less invasive alternatives like injections or cryotherapy may show relief in a few weeks, more invasive procedures like surgery may require up to three to six months for a full recovery.
