Is injecting keloids really effective in reducing raised scars?

It really works and it's safe. Injecting corticosteroids into raised scars or keloids is a widely used treatment that is effective in reducing the size and elevation of scars.

The results of the treatment vary from person to person. Some may see immediate results, while others may require more time and multiple treatments. This injection is usually done in a series of 3-4 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

However, this treatment may have side effects in some individuals, such as thinning of the skin at the injection site or changes in skin color. Therefore, you should consult a doctor to assess your suitability before starting treatment.
