Keloid & Raised Scars: An Honest Guide
Quick answer: Keloids are raised scars that grow beyond the original wound and are usually managed medically with steroid injections, silicone and pressure under a dermatologist or scar specialist. AMRED Clinic in Cheongdam, Gangnam has not published a dedicated keloid program; a doctor can assess your scar and advise whether specialist care is the better route.
Different from acne scars
