The Benefit of an All Natural Cream to Treat Keloid Scars
The skin's natural restorative healing after one suffers from a cut, injury or surgery will more times than not leave a scar. However not all scars are as basic as leaving behind a mark over the original injury spot. Keloids are those type of scars that grow beyond the original boundaries of where the original injury occurred on the skin.
Women and people with highly pigmented skin have the highest contraction rate for this type of scar. However keloids are not limited to just those subsets of people as anyone can get them. The sternum, upper arm, and upper back are the main regions where this type of scar is found. Earlobes are also susceptible in that ear piercings have led to a high rate of keloid formation.
The jury is still out as to why keloid scars grow beyond the site of the original injury. What has been found as the most common factors are skin trauma, muscle tension, and an infection at the site of the injury. In addition hereditary factors seem to play a role as there is a high percentage of this scar being found amongst family members. The main effort at preventing keloids' formation are not having any piercings or tattoos and notifying your doctor before any surgery of keloid history within your family. Upon their formation however, there are methods that result in diminishment of size and with steady treatment eventual keloid removal.
Surgery would appear to be the most obvious method of keloid scar removal. Nonetheless there is more than a 50% chance a new keloid scar will form over the surgery wound that was inflicted in the effort to get rid of the original keloid scar. The hope of laser treatments having a lower rate of recurrence did not pan out as the scar's regrowth had about the same chances after this type of treatment.
Having said that combined along with some other treatment plans surgery can result with a lower possibility the reformation of the scar. Radiation therapy subsequent to surgical excision is a treatment that can limit the regrowth of a new keloid by up to 70% according to certain studies. Having said that what could be the side effects associated with applying radiation could easily outweigh its treatment of a benign skin scar. Malignancy is one's main fear in this regard.
Another option to use would be cryosurgery but its side effect of leaving permanent hyperpigmentation on people with darker skin limits its use.
A natural and safe keloid treatment beneficial to use alone or complementing surgical removal is a skin cream containing Helix Aspersa Muller, or snail serum. Keloid scars benefit from this ingredient due to the fact its scar tissues are naturally regenerated by the molecular properties inherent within snail serum. Keloid scar removal tried with the use of a skin care cream such as BIOSKINREPAIR involves stimulating the regenerative processes of the skin and orchestrating the biosynthesis and deposition of new collagen.
