Keloids are benign overgrowths of fibrous tissue that form at the site of skin injury, such as a cut, burn, acne, vaccination, piercing, or surgery. Unlike normal scars, keloids extend beyond the original wound margins and may continue to enlarge even after healing. They are often raised, firm, shiny, and pink to dark brown, and may cause itching, tenderness, or pain. Keloids result from abnormal collagen synthesis and fibroblast activity during wound healing. They are more common in younger individuals and those with darker skin tones.
While not malignant, they are cosmetically distressing and tend to recur after surgical removal. Factors like genetic predisposition, chronic irritation, infection, or hormonal changes can aggravate their development.

Homoeopathy views keloid formation as a constitutional tendency toward abnormal tissue repair and scarring. Remedies are chosen based on appearance, consistency, color, sensitivity, and history of the lesion, as well as mental and general symptoms. Homoeopathic medicines help regulate collagen metabolism, reduce scar hardness and overgrowth, relieve itching or pain, and prevent recurrence after surgery or trauma. Over time, they can flatten, soften, and lighten keloid scars without invasive intervention.

Natural Homoeopathic remedies to get rid of Keloids

Keloid after Injury or Surgery – Silicea Terra

Promotes healthy healing of skin and connective tissue, preventing excessive scar formation. Useful for hard, raised scars with pus tendency, and when the area feels cold, sensitive, and painful to touch.

Painful, Itchy Keloid – Graphites Naturalis

Best suited for thick, hard, and cracked keloids with sticky discharge or oozing from old scars. The skin is rough, unhealthy, and tends to form thickened scars even after small wounds.

Old, Hard, Shiny Keloid – Thiosinaminum

One of the most valuable remedies for old or indurated scars, fibrous adhesions, and keloids. It acts by softening scar tissue and dissolving fibrotic adhesions. Often used in chronic or recurrent keloids after injury or surgery.

Burn-Related Keloid – Causticum

For scar tissue following burns, which becomes tight, shiny, and painful. The area feels contracted and sore, with a tendency for recurrent ulceration or cracking.

Keloid with Stitching or Burning Pain – Fluoric Acid

Especially indicated in itchy, burning, or throbbing scars that feel worse from warmth and better from cold applications. The patient tends to develop new scars easily, and old scars remain sensitive for years.

Keloid with Cracking and Thickened Skin – Calcarea Fluorica

A powerful tissue remedy that restores elasticity to hardened tissues. Ideal for hard, knotty keloids, especially on joints or where the skin stretches. It prevents recurrence after excision.

Keloid after Acne or Skin Eruptions – Hepar Sulphuris Calcareum

For sensitive, painful, or suppurating scars following acne, boils, or pustular eruptions. The area feels tender to touch, and new eruptions form near old scars.

Keloid with Itching and Burning Sensation – Sulphur

For red, elevated scars with burning, itching, and heat, worse at night. The skin is dry, unhealthy, and prone to repeated inflammation.

Keloid with Purple or Dusky Color – Lachesis Mutus

For bluish or purplish scars that are sensitive, tight, and painful, especially on pressure. The patient may feel worse from heat or after sleep. Often useful for post-surgical or post-injury keloids.

Keloid following Vaccination – Thuja Occidentalis

Effective in scars or keloids resulting from vaccination or puncture wounds, with itching and painful nodules. The skin around the lesion is greasy, soft, and sensitive to touch.

Keloid with Burning Pain and Dryness – Arsenicum Album

For burning, painful keloids, particularly when the patient feels restless, anxious, and chilly. The scar tissue may ulcerate or darken over time.

Painful Keloid with Shooting Sensation – Nitricum Acidum

Indicated when old scars become painful or sensitive, with splinter-like pains and bleeding cracks. The keloid is thick and tender, often at the corners of mouth or anus.

Inflamed, Growing Keloid – Belladonna

For sudden swelling, redness, and heat in scar tissue, suggesting active inflammation or infection in a previously healed wound.

Suppurating Keloid or Abscess Formation – Myristica Sebifera

Useful when old scar tissue becomes inflamed or abscessed, promoting suppuration and drainage, preventing deep infection.

Keloid with Itching and Dryness – Petroleum

For dry, cracked skin with hard, itching scars that worsen in cold weather. Skin feels rough and unhealthy, with tendency for recurrent fissures.

Fibrotic Keloid with Adhesion Formation – Phytolacca Decandra

For hard, fibrous, and tender scars with shooting pains extending into nearby tissues, especially following surgical wounds or glandular inflammation.

Keloid in Sensitive, Nervous Individuals – Phosphorus

When slight wounds heal with thick, discolored scars, and the patient is sensitive, nervous, and anxious. The skin is thin and delicate, yet scars form excessively.

Painful, Old, Indurated Keloid – Silicea + Thiosinaminum (Combined)

This combination often yields the best long-term results in chronic, recurrent, or post-operative keloids, helping soften, flatten, and reduce discoloration gradually.

Keloid with Skin Tightness and Pulling – Rhus Toxicodendron

For tight, stretching sensations in old scars, worsened by cold and damp weather, better from warmth and motion.

Keloid with Pricking and Tension – Carbo Animalis

For hard, painful nodules under old scars, especially when skin over scar feels tense, bluish, or thin.

Keloids represent abnormal connective tissue response in wound healing and are often difficult to manage with conventional methods. Homoeopathy offers a gentle, effective, and non-invasive approach by targeting the underlying tissue imbalance, regulating collagen production, and reducing inflammation and scar hardness. Remedies like Thiosinaminum, Silicea, Graphites, Calcarea fluorica, and Fluoric acid are particularly effective in softening, flattening, and preventing recurrence of keloids. With consistent treatment and constitutional remedy selection, homoeopathy restores healthy skin repair and improves cosmetic appearance naturally.
