Keloids on the chest, also known as hypertrophic scars or keloids, are excessively growing scar tissues that typically form after trauma, surgery, or injections. Removing keloids on the chest requires a combination of treatment methods, including medication, physical therapy, and surgical intervention.
The formation of keloids is related to a variety of factors, including genetics, skin tension, and individual healing ability. The goal of treatment is to inhibit scar tissue growth, alleviate symptoms, and restore the skin's appearance as much as possible. For drug treatment, corticosteroid injections can be used to reduce inflammation and scar tissue growth. Physical therapy includes pressure therapy and radiation therapy, which inhibit scar tissue growth by applying continuous pressure or using low-dose radiation. For some difficult-to-control keloids, surgical excision may be necessary, but other treatments must be followed post-surgery to prevent regrowth.
During treatment, patients may encounter some potential risks and misconceptions. Over-reliance on a single treatment method may lead to poor treatment outcomes. Treating keloids is a long-term process that requires patience and consistent treatment. Some treatments may cause skin discoloration, infection, or other side effects, so careful consideration is needed when choosing a treatment method.
[Management Tip:]
1. Have regular check-ups and evaluations of keloids at the hospital.
2. Follow your doctor's advice and use a combination of medication, physical therapy, and surgical intervention.
3. Pay attention to daily care to avoid irritation or infection of keloids.
4. Maintain a positive attitude, cooperate patiently with treatment, and avoid emotional fluctuations that could negatively impact the treatment outcome.
