In summer, keloid scars can be removed by applying cold compresses and using specific ointments to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Summer's heat and increased sweating can exacerbate the inflammation of keloids. Keloids are overgrown scar tissue that not only affects appearance but can also cause discomfort. Cold compresses can help reduce inflammation and redness, while also relieving pain. To apply a cold compress, wrap ice cubes in a clean cloth and gently apply it to the keloid for about 10-15 minutes at a time, several times a day. There are also over-the-counter ointments specifically for keloids. These ointments typically contain ingredients like silicone and corticosteroids, which help soften scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and promote skin repair and regeneration. When using these ointments, follow the product instructions. It is generally recommended to use them 2-3 times daily for several weeks to months until the keloids show significant improvement.
