keloid
my husband is suffering with keloid for the past 10 years.it gets infected often and puss and blood ooz out. it is very painful too. what is the treatment for it?
dear doctor,
thank you very much for your reply.
we have already consulted many dermatologists and discussed various types of treatments. it cannot be treated because, it is in the middle of the chest. but the problem is the keloid spreads over the chest, like patches. they measure approximately 1inch X 5 inches, in 2 rows. he gets new blisters which later turns into keloid. what i want to know is that is there any treatment to stop the blisters.
thank you once again.

Hi
Thanks for writing in.
There are several methods for the treatment of keloids. These include cortisone injections (intralesional), surgery, laser, cryotherapy, interferons and fluorouracil (a chemotherapeutic agent) are used for the treatment of keloids. I suggest that you consult a dermatologist who can decide on the appropriate treatment for it after examination.
