way to stop keloid sh scar?

[evrlastingsea]

i sh from time to time and only stopped because i noticed the scar became a keloid scar instead. i might have a keloid genetics i'm not sure. i noticed it's the worst on both of my thighs. and it's also forming as a keloid too on my arm and upper arm (with upper arm being worse). i'm just assuming that the keloid is usually worse on the thicksr side of skin(?).

is there any way to prevent keloid scar? please let me know bc it's way too obvious!! T__T

as a side note : this is probably my fault but my only sh aftercare is rinsing it with running water and let it be. does that make any difference?

I never had big problem with keloids. But for my regular scars and the one that were getting bad I used a lot of oils and scar gels. If the wound is still "crying" and looked like something will start to grow I use scar tape. The same kind the pimple patches are made of. You can get it in this big tape rolls, sometimes it's sold as a strechmarcs tape (at least where I live). And I really recoment Bio-oil (it's in this small peach colour package). No idea if you can get it where you are but it's great.

I'm not sure that you can prevent it. I think some people are just more susceptible to this type of scarring due to their genetics.

And! Remember about proper wound care! Try to be as sanitary as you can when you sh, and don't forget proper after care! Sometimes if wound need stitches, but you can't get ones there are this small "stich tapes" that can hold skin together. It's not the best but it's better than nothing. Proper wound care is more important to not get a scar thats growing out of its mind than any after it scar care.
