What Causes Itchy Keloids Formation In Chest Area With Bypass Surgery History?

Hi,
This query is for my dad, who has done a bypass surgery (5 years ago). He has been prone to keloid ever since, and now keloids have formed in the chest area which is very itchy and gets infected frequently.
Is there any treatment available other than any surgery or injections as we have tried them and have shown no improvement

Hello I have gone through your question and appreciate Your concern .
Keloids are formed bcz of overgrown scar tissue.
Very difficult to treat as having tendency of recurrence.
U asked for treatment other than surgery and intralesional injections.
Radiotherapy have been shown good result.
But there are concern whether it should be used for benign Condition
Like keloid.
Topical steroid creams will reduce itching.

It is Better to consult dermatogist and get examined.
Thanks.
