Ear Keloid Excision and Closure at Las Vegas Dermatology

[TheJEmini95]

Am i right in thinking if you have a keloid scar removed then the scar left in its place has a possibility of scaring as a keloid?

@TheJEmini95 Yes, you are correct. Keloids may return once treated. Although Imiquimod is used on all patients who have keloid excision at Las Vegas Dermatology to lessen the risk of keloid recurrence, the use of Imiquimod, however is not a guarantee of a Keloid free existence as not everyone has a receptor for that medication in their body. Additionally, if a person has a risk for developing keloids, they may have more keloids in the future regardless of whatever therapy is used.
