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. Unfortunately every scar is not as basic a leaving a mark at the site of the skin injury. Keloid scars are those that grow beyond the borders of the original skin injury, and in some cases grow uncontrollably.
This abnormal scar can affect anyone but women and individuals with highly pigmented skin have a higher rate of contracting them. The sternum, upper arm, and upper back are the main regions where this type of scar is found. Earlobes are also susceptible in that ear piercings have led to a high rate of keloid formation.
It is not fully understood as to exactly how or why keloid scars grow so abnormally. What has been found as the most common factors are skin trauma, muscle tension, and an infection at the site of the injury. In addition hereditary factors seem to play a role as there is a high percentage of this scar being found amongst family members. The main effort at preventing keloids' formation are not having any piercings or tattoos and notifying your doctor before any surgery of keloid history within your family. 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. Alas the nature of this scar makes for its re-formation on top of the surgery scar around 50%. Laser treatments were hoped to have a lower recurrence rate but to no avail.
Even so merged along with some 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 could limit chances of a new keloid by up to 70% according to certain studies. On the other hand the possible side effects associated with using radiation could easily outweigh its treatment of a benign skin scar. Malignancy is one's main fear in this regard.
Cryosurgery is said to help but its effect of leaving permanent hyperpigmentation limits its use with people with darker skin.
There does exist a natural and safe keloid treatment that does not leave any of these unwanted side effects. Used by itself or accompanying surgery, a skin cream containing all natural ingredients along with Helix Aspersa Muller (snail serum) has historically diminished the size and appearance of keloids. Keloid scars are treated successfully by this cream because the scar's tissues are naturally 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 regenerative processes of the skin and orchestrating the biosynthesis and deposition of new collagen.
