For small and relatively flat keloids, you can purchase silicone scar gels from a pharmacy and apply twice daily. Larger keloids will benefit from regular steroid injections by a dermatologist. Even bulkier keloids can be removed by laser surgery, but regular steroid injections thereafter are still required to prevent recurrence. Sometimes, the surgery may have to be repeated if the keloid regrows rapidly.
