Hormone therapy for keloid scars on the ear is a method that uses hormone injections to reduce the size and hardness of keloids. This treatment can help reduce the size and hardness of keloids, thereby improving the patient's appearance and comfort. In this way, patients can avoid more complex surgical treatments and reduce pain and recovery time during the treatment process.
The principle behind this treatment is to inhibit the excessive growth of keloids by locally injecting hormones, such as corticosteroids. Hormones can reduce inflammation and inhibit fibroblast activity, thereby reducing excessive collagen deposition and thus shrinking keloids. Treatment usually requires multiple injections; after each injection, the keloid gradually shrinks and softens.
After undergoing steroid treatment for keloid scars on the ear, patients should closely monitor the treatment's effectiveness and any potential side effects. Typically, keloids will gradually shrink and soften after treatment, but the results vary from person to person. If the treatment is ineffective or adverse reactions occur, such as infection or increased pain, medical attention should be sought immediately. Steroid treatment is not suitable for all keloid patients; some patients may require alternative treatments.
