Q: Keloids/hypotrophic Scars
asked by: Spearmint Altoids on September 18th, 2005

I'm seventeen and I have various keloids/hypotrophic scars on my chest and a few on my back. For a time, I got cortisone shots for treatment, but to little effect. Now, i'm applying cordran tape to the scars and there seems to be some improvement after a couple weeks. The scars have gotten smaller and they seem to be drying (not sure whether that is good or bad, however).

Does anybody have any advice as to any specialists I can see for the treatment of the scars? Although none of them are especially huge, I do have quite a few, and they are quite unseemly. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
