Dr. Wu, please help me look at the keloids on my chest and shoulders. Patient: I am a keloid patient. I am a 24-year-old female. I have had a keloid since I was 16 years old, which was caused by acne. I didn’t know it at the time, and I didn’t pay attention to it when I took a shower. Gradually, there were several more keloids. When I was 19 years old, a lot of small red spots appeared on my chest. The doctor at the school hospital said they were molluscum contagiosum, so I used tweezers to prick them, and then I developed a big keloid scar. I saw Chinese medicine in the meantime, took rhubarb zhechong pills for a period of time, and used fujining plaster. The first one is now very soft and feels relatively flat, while the others are still a little hard, especially the front one which is painful and itchy. I took pictures and wanted to ask your help to see if my keloid scars can be treated? How much does it cost? What is the treatment cycle? Is the recurrence rate high? Does the treatment have any side effects? Thank you very much! Looking forward to replying! Laboratory test and examination results: The last hospital visited: Wu Xiaoli, Plastic Surgery Department, Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine Wu Xiaoli, Plastic Surgery Department, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital: Hello, you have a typical keloid scar, and the treatment is relatively difficult. Tricky. But patients who stick to treatment can eventually overcome keloid scars. Keloid scars are most afraid of stopping treatment. The more they continue, the more they recur, and the more they recur, the more they grow in size. Your scars can be treated with simple injections, but they take a long time and have serious side effects, which can easily cause acne and turn into new keloids. Isotope application treatment can also be used, but after treatment, the local skin will lose pigment, which is somewhat similar to vitiligo, affecting the appearance. The most critical question is whether you can persevere. Please see the "Informed Consent Form" I posted for other details.
