Homeopathic treatment
Keloids are a big cosmetic problem as they are ugly looking. The current treatment
in the allopathic / conventional treatment is not completely successful and may
not work at all. The treatments available in the allopathic / conventional method
are:
- Surgery: This is risky, because cutting a keloid can trigger
the formation of a similar or even larger keloid. Surgery is not a good option because
the scar formed from surgery may grow into another larger keloid.
- Laser: The pulsed-dye laser can be effective at flattening
keloids and making them look less red but several treatment sessions may be needed.
This is very costly and doesn’t result in complete removal.
- Cryotherapy: Freezing keloids with liquid nitrogen may flatten
them but often darkens the site of treatment.
- Fluorouracil: Injections of this chemotherapy agent, alone
or together with steroids, have been used for treatment.
- Injections: Local injections of corticosteroids are also
employed in the treatment. But this also rarely helps the patient.
There is no end to the useless procedures available in the conventional or allopathic
treatment which are at times really dangerous.
In contrast homeopathy offers a promising role. You can sometimes get rid of the ugly looking
keloids with the help of miraculous doses of minute medicines.
In homeopathic treatment no surgical procedure is required. No injections are given.
No creams or lotions are applied. Only oral medications are given.
After starting the remedies, the keloids start to shrink slowly. Continued treatment
may slowly restores the normal skin condition.
Tendency to the recurrent formation of keloids can also be removed with the proper
medicines.
In a three year project from 2000-2003 by the Department of Health and Family Welfare
and the department of AYUSH for comparative study between homeopathic and allopathic
treatment of keloids has shown that homeopathy is very effective.
Homeopathy is safe, free from side effects and an economical treatment.
There are 59 remedies which give great relief in keloid or keloid scar or cheloid.
However, the correct choice and the resulting relief is a matter of experience and
right judgment on the part of the doctor. The treatment is decided after thorough
case taking of the patient. Thus medicines are tailor made unlike allopathy in which
all patients receive the same surgery or drugs although trade name may be different.

What is keloid or keloid scar or cheloid
Keloids can be considered to be "scars that don't know when to stop."
A keloid, sometimes referred to as a keloid scar, is a tough heaped-up scar that
rises quite abruptly above the rest of the skin. It usually has a smooth top and
a pink or purple color. They are irregularly shaped and tend to enlarge progressively.
Unlike scars, keloids do not subside over time. These may itch and be painful, and
some keloids can grow to be quite large.
They are overgrowths of fibrous tissue or scars that can occur after an injury to
the skin. In individuals prone to keloids, even minor traumas to the skin, such
as ear piercing, can cause them. They can occur anywhere on the body, but they are
most common on the earlobes, upper back, shoulders, and chest.
Keloids should not be confused with hypertrophic scars, which are raised scars that
do not grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound.
They are equally common in women and men, although at least in times past more women
developed them because of a greater degree of earlobe and body piercing among women.
They are less common in children and the elderly.
Causes
- Keloids may occur from various skin injuries as surgical incisions, traumatic wounds,
vaccination sites, burns, and chickenpox.
- Wounds that are under tension while healing, or which get infected, are particularly
likely to form keloids, as are burn and acne scars.
- If someone in your family has keloids then you are at increased risk of get affected
by it.
- Another main cause of keloid is skin trauma i.e. skin or muscle tension (the upper
arm and back) seem to contribute to its formation.
- Exposure to the sun is also responsible in the formation.
- A deficiency or an excess in melanocyte hormone (MSH), decreased percentages of
mature collagen and increased soluble collagen, are among the main causes.
- Keloid's formation may be due to the piercing of body parts, such as the earlobes
and abdomen.
- Dark skinned people get keloids much more easily than those with a paler skin. They
are especially common in people with black skin.
Signs & symptoms
- The formation of dome shaped scar which extends beyond the injury.
- The red or dark color patches may be seen.
- The burning sensation, itching, ulceration, restriction of movement and so on are
also seen.
