The Benefit of an All Natural Cream to Treat Keloid Scars
The skin's natural restorative healing after one suffers from a cut, injury or surgery will more times than not leave a scar. But not every scar is as simple as leaving a mark at the site of the original injury. There is a scar known as a keloid that grows beyond the borders of the original skin injury.
Anyone has the ability to contract this type of scar but women and people with highly pigmented skin have historically had a higher contraction rate. The regions of the body that have the highest rate of forming keloids are the upper arm, the upper back and the sternum. Ear piercings have caused there to be a significant amount of cases found on earlobes.
It is not fully understood as to exactly how or why keloid scars grow so abnormally. Factors most common related are skin trauma, muscle tension, and infection at a wound site. In addition hereditary factors seem to play a role as there is a high percentage of this scar being found amongst family members. Prevention for those with skin susceptible to this type of scar is mainly confined to not having any piercings or tattoos and notifying your doctor before surgery. After they do form there exists some option you can take to promote their diminishment with the overall goal of keloid removal.
One would hope that surgically removing them would solve the problem right away. Nonetheless there is more than a 50% chance a new keloid scar will form over the surgery wound that was inflicted in the effort to get rid of the original keloid scar. Laser treatments were hoped to have a lower recurrence rate but to no avail.
On the other hand merged along with other treatment plans surgery will have a lower possibility of causing the regrowth of a new keloid scar. Radiation therapy after the surgical removal of the scar is a treatment that can limit chances of a new keloid by up to 70% studies have shown. On the other hand the possible side effects associated with using radiation could easily outweigh its treatment of a benign skin scar. The feared outcome with this is malignancy.
Another option to use would be cryosurgery but its side effect of leaving permanent hyperpigmentation on people with darker skin limits its use.
A natural and safe keloid treatment beneficial to use alone or complementing surgical removal is a skin cream containing Helix Aspersa Muller, or snail serum. Keloid scars benefit from this ingredient due to the fact its scar tissues are regenerated by the molecular properties inherent in snail serum. Keloid scar removal attempted with the use of a skin care cream such as BIOSKINREPAIR involves stimulating the skin's regenerative processes and orchestrating the biosynthesis and deposition of new collagen.
