A keloid is a raised area of scar tissue that can form after an injury, surgery, acne or a piercing, and it may extend beyond the original wound. Keloids are usually harmless but can feel itchy, tight or tender, and they commonly appear on the chest, shoulders, jawline, earlobes or upper back.
Advanced Skin Doctors offers scar removal for keloids across its Melbourne clinics, with assessments carried out by qualified doctors. Depending on the scar, treatment may include surgical removal, steroid injections, cryotherapy or laser therapy, performed under local anaesthetic in a clinical setting, and more than one session may be needed.

Scar tissue responds differently from person to person, and a consultation is the most reliable way to understand what scar removal may involve for an individual case. Contact the clinic to arrange an assessment.
