Treatment and Care for Ear Keloids

Ear keloids are a common skin condition, especially in areas like the ear where the skin is tight and subject to friction, making keloids more likely to form. Keloids are abnormal growths caused by the overproduction of collagen during the healing process. Keloids can cause pain, itching, and aesthetic discomfort. For treatment, keloid injections are a common and effective method. These injections usually contain steroid medications that can slow the growth of the keloid, alleviate symptoms, and gradually flatten the scar. Due to the current pandemic, traveling to Nantong for injections might be challenging. You can consult with the dermatologists at Taicang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, who may offer similar treatment services. In addition, daily care is very important. Avoid using irritating cosmetics and skincare products, keep the area clean and dry, and avoid excessive friction and pulling on the scar area. Under the guidance of a doctor, using medications like BAK spray can help control keloid growth. Finally, regular follow-up visits are crucial for the doctor to adjust the treatment plan promptly to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the treatment.
