Is it true that effective medical cures exist for keloids?
Yes. Although keloids can be notoriously difficult to treat completely and have high recurrence rates, multiple clinical studies and systematic reviews confirm that effective medical treatments and management options—such as corticosteroid injections, laser therapies, cryotherapy, and surgical excision with adjuvant therapies—do exist.
