A keloid scar or raised scar affects over 20 million people. A keloid scar is different that most in the fact that it is a raised scar but also it continues to grow. Keloids are mainly made of collagen and this collagen continues to multiply even after the original scar underneath has healed. For some keloid scars can be darker or pigmented skin in color and this hyperpigmentation along with the larger size of the keloid makes it unattractive to many. So what can be done to help a keloid scar – is there a keloid scar treatment? The answer yes that there is a keloid treatment and it involves a brand new extract called snail extract or helix aspersa. This extract eats away at the scar to reduce the size as well as to lighten the skin color of the scar as they tend to be darker than the rest of the skin. Skin lightening creams are often used on keloids but with MD Strength you do not need an extra skin lightening cream. This lightening is already built into the skin lightening cream.
