I've been googling everywhere and everyone seems to say that there is no cure for keloid cause they always grow back, there can only be treatments. I've had my keloids injected 5 times within a year,...

If you live in the UK, you may be able to get silicone sheets on prescription free from your doctor. That's what I was going to do.   Some other members have also suggested silicone sheets. I ...

Silicone scar sheets help to flatten scars and decrease redness.   It doesn't hurt to ask about the 5-FU from your dermatologist. You'd have to do some research, I'm not totally sure about the ...

Your keloids are really small. I think the main purpose of the laser is get rid of the redness. the injections are more for flattening them and helping with the pain & itching. I'm surprised they ...

Silicone sheets are like $20 at any drug store. If you are patient I'd give it a shot, otherwise pulse dye lasers like Vbeam would work. What do silicone sheets do? My keloids are bumpy and red. I'...

Tried silicone sheets/gel?   Never tried it. Do you know how much that costs? Does it work to eliminate the scar or just reduce its visibility?

I've done 5-6 sessions of cortisone injections but these keloids keep coming back on my jawline, Super annoying and discouraging. Should I start trying laser? I don't want to try incision bc they sa...

BUMP.   Hey guys. Just wanna update you all. Apparently it stopped being a cyst 1-2 years ago. Those bumps were actually keloid scars.. I have no idea why I've developed keloids on my jawline....

Ugh guys so I really can't just let these cysts sit on my jawline anymore. I feel like there must be something going on that makes it spread that much. It all started from 1 to now 4-5 small 'no pus' ...

I've said this before on other posts, but I have had a couple of cysts that did not respond to cortisone shots. One had 5 cortisone shots and still came back. I eventually killed that one by applying ...

I wouldn't open it up. One reason being that you are just releasing the infection that's coming from the source(the cystic node sac)so it would just be a temporary fix. For another, you risk the possi...

It definitely came to a head first, no cyst vanishes without doing that. I could feel it deep within my chin, and it hurt to move my face, so it was pretty big when it came through. After that, I made...

wow thats crazy. it sounds more like scarring to me if they havent gone away yet but yeah excision sounds like a good plan if cortisone didnt do the trick but then again they do have lasers that help ...

I have the same problem. I have this cyst on my jawline which I went to a derm and she said it was a cystic node and she injected it but I didn't really see much of a difference and it had been there ...

I've had these cysts on my jawline that won't go away for 1-2 years now, and Ive tried accutane and cortisone injections (3 times too..) and it's always there. It's enlarged whenever I'm stressed out ...

hey! it sounds like things are looking up for you which is awesome news! i bet you cant wait to be done with accutane! how does the injected cyst look today? it is amazing that it hasnt gone done much...

i dont know only time will tell on that front. you have to wait the 6 months after accutane anyway to do anything so i would just wait until that time comes and then if they are still there and they b...

hey glad things are looking up for you! that is great news. i bet in time that wound will go away just try to be positive about everything and know that its all going to work out just fine. yeah some ...

well thats good that its just a cyst then. if it doesnt go away after your accutane course then you will probably need to have it excised. i would keep getting injections done for it though to see if ...

so are you sure that 2 year old cyst is really a cyst? did the derm say it was a cyst? normally cortisone works pretty well on those things even if you would have needed a few shots to get rid of it, ...

dont be too worried i have heard about healing taking a lot longer while on accutane and i have seen pics that look like that. i think its just a cyst that has healed really poorly so i am sure it wil...

what i would do is i would call the derm and tell them what is going on and then make an appointment to be seen right away. i am sure its not cancerous or anything but you should get it checked out. t...

i have not been on accutane but when i would get injections, some of the cysts had to have injected 3 times before they went down. i would call and tell them what is going on so that you can get an ap...

I dont even know what the heck it is. Its not even a scar. Its like a wound but its been over 2 weeks!! Its not healing .. So weird

Hi guys, I got a few cortisone injections on my jawline cysts as well as some pimples on my face. It worked great on my regular pimples but not so well on the cysts that formed during Accutane. I had ...
