All forms of scars can cause great distress and today I am talking about one such type of scar, called the keloid scar, which can look intimidating and embarrassing to some!
What are Keloid Scars?
These are the form of scars that become enlarged due to abnormal growth of fibrous tissues and rise quite abruptly above the rest of the skin. They have a smooth top and are pink or purple in color. They do not cause pain, but sometimes they can be itchy.
Reasons behind Keloid Scars:
• Acne Scars
• Burns
• Chickenpox Scars
• Ear Piercing
• Scratches
• Surgical Incision
• Vaccination
Treating Keloid Scars:
Lavender Oil:
Lavender oil will not only help you get rid of those pesky scars, but will also prevent them from reappearing in the future. You can massage lavender oil onto the affected area of skin with keloid scars at least 3-4 times a day. Be consistent with this and it will surely be of great help.
Apple Cider Vinegar:
Apple cider vinegar helps to minimize the size and redness of the scar. Apply apple cider vinegar directly on the affected area and gently massage it in. Do it multiple times a day to see the benefits.
Tea Tree Oil:
Tea tree oil has various antiseptic properties and can be really helpful in removal of keloid scars. Rub the oil directly on the keloid for a few minutes and then wash off the area with water. Try to repeat at least twice a day.
Baking Soda:
Mix some baking soda with either some hydrogen peroxide or honey to make a consistent paste. Use the paste to cover the patch of skin with keloid. Do it regularly once a day.
Aloe Vera Gel:
Aloe Vera is an excellent skin regenerating and revitalizing herb that helps the scar heal faster. You can clean the affected area and then apply aloe vera gel. Try to allow the aloe gel to remain over the scar all throughout the day for effective removal of the scars.
Garlic:
Garlic has various antibacterial properties that will help clear up the scars. Take a few cloves of garlic and crush them up and apply on the scars twice a day. You can also use garlic oil for the same purpose.
Fuller’s Earth:
Mix one tablespoon of fuller’s earth with one teaspoon each of lemon juice and rose water to make a smooth paste. Apply this paste on the affected area and leave on for 15 minutes. Do this daily for effective removal of keloid scars.
