Keloids Treatment

[Kiu]

my 17 year-old boy has keloids over his arms, chest and back.  The bigger one is about 1cm.  other smaller ones about 0.5 cm and 0.2 cm.  These keloids are left from acne.
I intend to choose "apply pressure method" but I have no idea where can I get those necessary stuffs.  grateful if you can let me know where can I get them.

My own experience - I also had a keloid from chicken pox each on lower abdomen and back.  the one on my back (at least 0.5 cm) disappear completely because the bra strip press on it every day.  the one on lower abdomen (at least 0.5 cm), it was high but with a smaller base, so because of it's shape, I used a sewing thread to tie at the base very tightly,  then after sometimes, it disappeared without me knowing it!

Happy to discuss/share more about my own experience.

Kind regards

The use of silicone sheets is very good, and does decrease the scars. Also, injections with steroids can help. Try a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon.
