Update!


Hi Everyone,

Here is two update photos of my keloid scar. I haven't received any additional injection, because my keloid has not grown back. I actually think parts (maybe entire scar) of my keloid will never grow back . The skin on the right side of my scar is starting to look and feel like normal skin. Also the pigmentation on the right is blending in. However, there is still discoloration as you can see I still have the loss of pigment and little red veins are apparent. Nevertheless, I think it is looking great, well better than before the treatment, and it does not hurt or get irritated.

A Week After 6th Injection


I went last week to receive my 6th injection. My keloid felt like it was growing again but not outside the original area. Dr. Fischman stated, it is looking good, and there is a possibility I will only need one more injection after my 6th. Also, that the middle area of my scar is actually looking like normal skin. The color of my keloid scar is starting to look like my normal skin tone, and the pigmentation loss that was seen before from my other treatments are abating. I personally see a lot of changes from my penultimate photo. I know in time my little red veins will not be apparent. Progress is slow, but the results are rewarding.

Coverup Difficulty

Since my keloid scar is flat and summer is approaching, I want to wear nice tops like spaghetti strap shirts and dresses. However, it is very difficult for me to find makeup that can conceal my keloid scar without it looking like I have makeup on my shoulders. I bought dermablend, and it does cover my scar, but I haven't found a shade to match my skin tone. I have already bought three different colors tubes to blend, and now I'm buying a fourth color. I hope I have success matching my skin tone. I would like to finally wear a pretty summer dress. Anyway, I am really happy about my keloid treatment progress except the color discoloration, so I shouldn't bitch.
