Keloid injection ( small )

About This Service

---

Keloid scar treatment injection (Keloid) in 2026 is still the most effective standard method. By using steroids injected directly into the wound to make the wound collapse and soften

Substances used in injection

Triamcinolone Acetonide: It is the most commonly used main drug. It has anti-inflammatory effects and inhibits abnormal collagen production, which is the cause of raised wounds.

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU): In 2026, doctors often use this drug together with steroids in cases of drug-resistant or large keloid lesions. To increase treatment efficiency and reduce the chance of recurrence

The result

Flattened wound: The raised tissue will gradually collapse and smooth with the surrounding skin.

Soften the wound: Reduce the tension and hardness of the wound.

Reduce itching and pain: Helps stop nerve signals that cause itching around the wound.

Procedures and care (updated in 2026)

Injection frequency: Should be injected continuously every 4-6 weeks until the wound is completely flat.

Symptoms after injection: There may be redness, swelling or tightness at the injection site for about 1-2 days.

Caution: Do not inject too much because it may cause the skin in that area to atrophy, dent or see scattered capillaries (Telangiectasia).

Tandem treatment for maximum efficiency.

Use of silicone sheets: After injection, the silicone gel sheet (Silicone Gel Sheet) should be closed for 12-24 hours to press down to prevent the wound from bulging back.

Laser to reduce redness: If the wound is very red, using a V-Beam or Dye Laser group laser in conjunction with injections will help the wound fade and flatten faster.

Radiation (RT): For cases that have had surgery and do not want to come back again, the doctor may also recommend low-dose radiation.

Advice: The faster the keloid is treated, the better the effect. If left for a long time, the wound will harden and be more difficult to heal. You should consult a dermatologist at Asoke Dermatology Hospital or a clinic with standard equipment to assess the appropriate dose of medicine.
