Hi,
welcome to HCM,

Keloids can be treatable in the sense that their height ,width and growth. but they cant be removed completely. If you try them to remove by surgery it will recurr again.

One most easy way to treat the keloids is injection of high potent steroids like Triamcinolone for several doses directly into keloid tissue.

You consult a dermatologist for this problem. You will be treated accordingly.
