Well 30-year-old man with a long history of struggling to manage multiple chest keloids. He regularly experienced itchiness and discomfort, which were often exacerbated by activities such as exercise or warmer weather.
Some patients choose to modify their clothing to reduce friction and irritation, often opting for larger shirt sizes to improve comfort and reduce visible bulging.
In this case, the patient attended several monthly sessions of an injection-based treatment commonly used to manage symptoms associated with keloid scarring. Over time, he experienced a reduction in symptoms such as discomfort and a visible flattening of the scar tissue. Individual outcomes may vary.
