Keloid Injection
Description
Keloid injection, typically involving corticosteroids such as triamcinolone acetonide, is a procedure aimed at reducing the size and symptoms of keloids, which are overgrown scar tissues. Prior to the injection, the affected area is thoroughly cleansed with an antiseptic solution to minimize the risk of infection. The physician then carefully determines the appropriate dosage, which may vary depending on the size and severity of the keloid. Using a fine gauge needle, the corticosteroid is injected directly into the keloid tissue. The injection works by reducing inflammation, decreasing collagen production, and ultimately softening and flattening the keloid over time. Post-procedure, patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling at the injection site, which typically subsides within a few days. It is important for patients to follow any aftercare instructions provided by the physician, such as avoiding strenuous activities or applying ice to reduce swelling. Multiple sessions, often spaced several weeks apart, are usually required to achieve significant improvement. Patients are advised to monitor the keloid for changes and report any adverse reactions or lack of improvement to their healthcare provider. The success of keloid injections can vary, and in some cases, adjunctive therapies like silicone sheets or laser treatment may be recommended for optimal results.
