Ingredients for Reducing Raised Scars (Keloids)

Regarding ingredients that can help reduce raised scars (keloids), based on the previous discussion, for scars that have been present for many years and have a raised appearance like the one described, cosmetic ingredients generally cannot cause the scar to flatten or significantly reduce in size.

For this type of long-standing, raised scar, medical treatment is usually necessary to stimulate new skin cell regeneration, such as laser therapy or steroid injections. It is highly recommended to consult a dermatologist to receive the most appropriate treatment for your specific scar.

Cosmetic ingredients can sometimes help to soften the scar tissue or improve the appearance of newer scars, making them less noticeable. However, for established keloids, their effect on reducing the raised nature is limited.

Therefore, for the best outcome with a long-standing raised scar, please consult a medical professional.
