What is cicatricial proliferation?
Growing, itchy, reddish or dark scars are referred to as scar growths. Scar growths are technically known as keloids. The main characteristic of a keloid is that it grows beyond the boundaries of the injured tissue after the wound has already closed. Keloids occur preferentially on the ears, shoulders and upper chest area.
What treatment methods do we offer for keloids?
Choosing the right treatment together with you is the decisive step to success. We carry out the following treatments frequently and with good experience:
- Removal of the keloid
- Injection of the keloid with cortisone
- Injection of the keloid with a cytostatic drug
Because keloids recur repeatedly, combined procedures such as surgical removal with injections or radiotherapy are very beneficial. Pressure bandages with silicone films delay recurrence.
