Keloids- Help Needed! =[

I heard a dermatologist on Instagram suggest La roche-posay cicaplast cream today.

@SamKringle – my 3-year-old son had a scar from an accident he had right on his hip. As it healed, a keloid lump formed, and I had no idea how to help him. My GP suggested I try Dematix Silicone scar gel and I used to have to just rub it over the keloid. That silicone worked a treat, but it doesn’t happen overnight. I had to rub it in for quite a while to even see some improvement. I just know that my son who is in his 30s now said so glad you did something for it.
Good luck with how you go too.

Hi @SamKingie, I am not sure how well they work but I have been told the Kelo-Cote scar treatment from Chemist warehouse is marketed for keloid scars or Dematix Silicone scar gel or another alternative is Cica Care gel sheets.
Hope they help.

I wish I could help, @SamKingie. I wear an elbow-length rashie & knee-length boardies whenever I expose my unearthly whiteness at the beach or pool, haha!

I’m blemish-prone, but only on my face & (rarely) neck, so I use Clearasil cream. But it would be hard to apply it to your back without assistance. For the bacne, have you considered a medicated face wash?

Regarding your keloids, women with visible caesarean scars rock bikinis, so I wish you had the self-confidence to say: So what? – I’ll wear a bikini anyway! Of course, that’s easy for me to say. I hope you don’t think I’m being flippant because I’m not. Life can leave us battle scarred, visibly & invisibly, because life isn’t fair. I hope somebody can present a helpful answer for your keloids.

Good luck, @SamKingie!
