A Keloid scar treatment is especially tricky for people with darker skin. Darkly pigmented people are exceptionally prone to forming keloids.  Some ethnic groups are at more risk of developing them. You are 16% more susceptible if you are African-American or Hispanic.

• A keloid is  “scar tissue that won’t stop growing”. It is often not a candidate for surgical removal, or dermabrasion, because those treatments also leave a scar, and it may be a keloid.
• There is a real risk the skin that grows back after keloid scar removal will be bigger, bolder keloid tissue.

Keloids on dark skin appear pink or red.  They stand out on dark skin.

People of color are particularly in search of a keloid scar removal that fades the color of the out-of-control scar tissue.

With medical options discouraged by doctors, silicone keloid scar treatment makes sense for darker skin. Silicone promotes fading over time.

Research proves silicone reduces keloid scars.

A major medical center in India performed a controlled study of silicone scar treatment creams and gels. They concluded it may be the least expensive, effective option for poor third world countries. The research was done in India because dark South Asian skin is prone to keloids.
