I went to see an Orthopedic Specialist on March 8th last week for the follow-up. He is contented to see that I am in one piece again except for my arm. It has a raised area at the site of my former wound and stitches called keloid. Reddish brown, firm, rubbery and shiny would best describe how does this ugly keloid of mine looks like. Adding to this hideous sight, this benign tumor which has spread well beyond the area of the original wound often accompanied by sharp pain and itching which is awfully uncomfortable.
The solution, according to the passionate specialist, is through steroid injection or through the surgical removal of all the scar tissue. He, however, does not know to WHICH extend would either way help. But, he reassured me that the dermatologist that I would be seeing in May knows what is best for me. He is the Orthopedic Specialist by the way. Let's hear from the dermatologist whose days are committed into perfecting skin.

Hey Walter, apparently I have keloidssss too.hehe I have the same experience like yours. I have them on my BCG scar and chicken pox scars. I hve been told that there's no guarantee that keloids can be removed with surgery.mun nasib sik bait, keloid akan tumbh dari surgery scar ya.hehehe if you find the best solution, mind to share? because keloid tend to grow. my previous doctor used to say that if its ithcy, it means that it's growing.hehe alu nervous. Dr padah iboh digaru. ya akan buat nya lebih cepat besar.hehehe
