Keloids
Keloids are raised, thickened scars that develop beyond the original wound area due to an overgrowth of collagenduring healing. They are firm, rubbery, and can be itchy or painful. Unlike normal scars, keloids continue to grow and do not regress over time.
Common Causes of Keloids
• Skin injuries – Cuts, burns, acne, piercings, tattoos, or surgical incisions.
• Genetic predisposition – More common in people with a family history of keloids.
• Skin type – Darker skin tones are more prone to keloid formation.
• Inflammatory skin conditions – Acne, chickenpox, or infections can trigger keloid growth.
Symptoms of Keloids
• Raised, thick, and shiny scars that extend beyond the wound.
• Pink, red, or dark brown coloration.
• Itchiness, tenderness, or burning sensations in the affected area.
• Slow-growing and persistent, unlike regular scars.
Homeopathic Treatment for Keloids
Homeopathy stimulates the body’s natural healing, reduces excess scar tissue, and prevents recurrence. It is a gentle, non-invasive approach that softens, flattens, and reduces keloid size over time.
Effective Homeopathic Remedies for Keloids
• Thiosinaminum – Best remedy for dissolving thick, hardened scar tissue.
• Graphites – Useful for itchy, inflamed, or painful keloids.

• Fluoricum Acidum – Reduces hard, raised, and old keloid scars.
• Calcarea Fluorica – Softens tough fibrous tissue and prevents recurrence.
• Nitric Acid – Effective for painful, inflamed, or sensitive keloids.
Lifestyle & Preventive Measures
• Avoid unnecessary skin trauma – Prevent piercings, tattoos, or surgeries if prone to keloids.
• Keep wounds clean and moisturized – Reduces excessive scarring.
• Use natural oils (coconut oil, rosehip oil, aloe vera) – Helps with scar healing.
• Avoid sun exposure on scars – Prevents darkening and thickening.
• Massage the scar gently – Helps break down excess collagen formation.
Conclusion
Homeopathy naturally treats keloids by addressing the underlying cause, reducing scar thickness, and preventing regrowth. With consistent treatment and preventive care, one can achieve softer, flatter, and less noticeable scarswithout invasive procedures.
