| Description |
Keloids can be injected with a Depo form of injectable steroid and/or silicone gel sheet. The corticosteroid reduces the production of all components of the keloid, which include ground substance, collagen, and elastin. The silicone gel is thought to act by increasing the temperature of the skin and thereby increasing the activity of collagenase. |
