Hi, I had surgery in Feb 21 on my back from a Basel cell and developed a keloid scar there, it swells, causes pain, can itch and looks unsightly and much bigger than the original scar. 1 month ago I had surgery WLE on my right upper arm for a stage 1 melanoma, I am now developing another keloid.
Does anyone know of anything that can help with these? One is nearly a year old and established, the other is new and still developing …. Thanks
Hi J09 and a very warm welcome to the group
I don't have any experience with keloid scars but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet.
I've done a search in the group and can see that Babyyoda123 has posted about having one. I've tagged them into this reply and hopefully they'll pop on and share their experience with you.

Ok thank you
ive got some silicone strips and trailing those at the moment on the keloid
I’ve not experienced that … but I’ve been using e45 on my WLE scar and groin biopsy scar and that has really helped my scars personally xx
