Do facial peels/exfoliation have any effect on keloids?

First, here's a little history on keloids.





Keloids were described by Egyptian surgeons about 1700 BCE. Baron Jean Louis Alibert (1768-1837) identified the keloid as an entity in 1806. He called them cancroide. Later he changed the name to cheloide to avoid the connotation of cancer. The word is derived from the Greek chele, meaning crab's claw, and the suffix -oid, meaning like. His clinic at the Hospital St.Louis was for many years the world鈥檚 centre for dermatology.





These keloid scars are more visible on the skin surface that is raised and very unsightly. It is caused by overgrowth of the flesh from which an injury occurred. The skin can be damaged by breakouts and acne keloid scars develop on the spot where the pimple appeared. Your acne may be treated but leaves a reminder of your acne experience and these scars are very difficult to treat.





Although keloid acne are difficult to treat, you can make them less visible and noticeable over time when the bump becomes even on the surface skin. A technique which can help you lose that nasty keloid out of your face. Applying pressure on the bump for a period of time for around 3 to 5 minutes, do this three times a day. You can see results after a week and you can a difference and noticeable results.





So, from what I've researched, a chemical peel/exfoliating will not harm the keloid. My suggestion is not to rub the chemical too hard into the keloid which can probably irritate it and cause it to itch as keloids often do.





Hope this helps,
