<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Keloids are difficult to treat
Keloids are excessive growths of scar tissue at the site of an injury. Usually harmless but cosmetically unattractive, they are difficult to treat. Some single therapies make the keloid grow back larger.
On the Other: Mederma is a proven therapy
A review article in Skin and Allergy News finds that when combined with surgical excision, mederma offers minimal discomfort during treatment and decreases the chance of a keloid growing back.
Bottom Line
Mederma works on keloids when combined with other therapies such as surgical excision.
