Keloid Treatment
Flatten the Scar, Regain Skin Confidence
What Is a Keloid?
A keloid is a type of thick, raised scar that grows beyond the boundary of an original wound or injury. Unlike regular scars, keloids may itch, hurt, or continue growing, even long after healing. They commonly occur after cuts, acne, burns, piercings, surgeries, or even minor skin trauma — especially in people with darker skin tones.
At Dermosphere Clinic, we specialize in safe, effective, and personalized keloid treatment protocols that reduce scar thickness, soothe discomfort, and prevent recurrence.
Common Areas Where Keloids Form
• Chest and shoulders
• Earlobes (after piercing)
• Jawline and beard area
• Back or upper arms (post-acne or injury)
• Surgical scars and suture lines
Symptoms of Keloids
• Raised, thickened, or shiny scar
• Pink, red, brown, or purplish in color
• Itching, burning, or pain
• Expands beyond the original wound site
• Cosmetic discomfort or self-consciousness

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can keloids go away on their own?
No. Keloids do not resolve without treatment and may worsen with time.
2. Is keloid removal permanent?
We can flatten and reduce keloids significantly, but long-term control requires follow-up and preventive care.
3. Are keloids hereditary?
Yes. People with family history or darker skin types are more prone to keloid formation.
4. Does keloid treatment hurt?
Steroid injections may sting briefly, but we use numbing creams and gentle techniques to ensure comfort.
