Hi, My name is Cindy. Im 17 years old and i have a keloid scar on my left shoulder since i was a baby. I went to alot of skin doctors and hospitals to see if there is any way or any treatment to get rid of this keloid. All of them said that there is no way to make it go away, because if they preform a surgery another keloid scar might grow again. My scar has been hurting since i was a kid, and now it hurts much more often or out of the blue. Espiecally when i get a pat on the shoulder and people don't know i have this, it hurts sooo much I tried creams that the doctors gave me to make the pain go away, but it never works. It looks very red and swollen now and even just a touch is painful. Please is there any way to get rid of this, so i won't be in much pain anymore.

I too suffer from kelold scars. I Have on the mid-section of my chest and on my left breast. I have had these keloids since I was you age and now I am 48. They are very painful and its amazes me that doctors can make women beautiful with surgery yet they can't figure out how to help patients who just want to have a normal life without keloids.
I wish I could tell you there was a solution but I have yet to find one. I will make a suggestion to not get the injection because they just made my koloid larger. Also small needles will still cause a scar. Keep in touch if you get ahold of a doctor who cares refer him/her my way.

Hello Lorraine
My mother (66) underwent a bypass surgery six years ago and developed a painful keloid since. She just had her 1st steroid injection and it was so painful it almost passed out look at her baring it. After she got the shot it dint stop hurting. I don't know if the injections are the right thing to do. She's already in pain and I don't want her to go through anymore. What should I do?

Hi Disha,
I have a keloid scar on my chest and I had 5 steroid injections directly in to the scar when I was younger and there was no result. They are incredibly painful. I ended up getting most of my scar cut out and then underwent scar therapy. I taped my scar to keep it down and to stop it growing which did work! Half of my scar is as smooth and flat as my skin now while the other half they didn't cut out is still quite raised. Hope this helps
