Does steroids help the keloids disappear
Hi, I consulted a doctor and have keloids on my shoulder. Got injection shots as she recommended me not to go for a surgery or anything as it leaves white marks and never 100% curable. She also highlighted that steroids are also not 100% helpful and these will come back which is what happened to me. What's the cure for this. What should I do to get rid of it permanently.

Bringing keloid to the level of skin is what you can expect maximum.
Usually possible. Now a combination injection is advisable instead of steroid injection.kindly share a pic.
