i just hate them!

damn it, i just hate them lor.those scars on my face,for those who saw my face over these 2 years..you will see at my side ear grew a damn disgusting scars which may be red and swollen at times..those are call keloids.

been to a facial specialist quite a few times, i tot it was just nth so i din go very regularly but just minutes ago,i went to research about it out of curiosity and terribly found out that those scars cannot be remove..they can only be reduced in size..even laser or surgury might not have the chance to stop them from growing back..now i'm panic and scare..how am i going to face the world...haiz..

he methods now available to treat keloids are:

* Cortisone injections (intralesional steroids): This is safe and not very painful. Injections are usually given once per month until the maximum benefit is obtained. Injections are safe (very little steroid gets into the body) and usually help flatten keloids; however, steroid injections can also make the flattened keloid redder by stimulating the formation of more superficial blood vessels. (These can be treated using a laser; see below.) The keloid may look better after treatment than it looked to start with, but even the best results leave a mark that looks and feels quite different from surrounding skin. For more, please read the Cortisone Injection article.

* Surgery: This is risky, because cutting a keloid can trigger the formation of a similar or even larger keloid. Some surgeons achieve success by injecting steroids or applying pressure dressings to the wound site after cutting away the keloid. Radiation after surgical excision has also been used.

Laser: The pulsed-dye laser can be effective at flattening keloids and making them look less red. Treatment is safe and not very painful, but several treatment sessions may be needed.

* Silicone sheets: This involves wearing a sheet of silicone gel on the affected area for several hours a day for weeks or months, which is hard to sustain. Results are variable. Some doctors claim similar success with compression dressings made from materials other than silicone.

* Cryotherapy: Freezing keloids with liquid nitrogen may flatten them, but often darkens the site of treatment.

* Interferon: Interferons are proteins produced by our immune systems which help fight off viruses, bacteria, and other challenges. In recent studies, injections of interferon have shown promise in reducing the size of keloids, though it's not yet certain whether that effect will be lasting. Current research is underway using a variant of this method, applying topical imiquimod (Aldara), which stimulates the body to produce interferon.

* Fluorouracil: Injections of this chemotherapy agent, alone or together with steroids, have been used as well for treatment of keloids.

ok i not going to show the pictures cos those picture look more disgusting than mine...so anyone know any good doctors please tell me..i need help...
