Keloid Treatment in Kannur
Kannur’s Highway Junction clinic treats keloids the way the Thalassery flagship does: a course of intralesional injections combined with liquid nitrogen cryotherapy for dense scars, silicone and pressure between visits, and surgical removal with injections for bulky earlobe keloids. The itch and redness settle first; the flattening follows. Read why raised scars and keloids behave differently before your consultation.

Injection and Cryotherapy Combination for Kannur Keloids
In keloid-prone skin, a pierced ear, a chest pimple, a shaving nick or a surgical incision can each become a raised, shiny, itchy scar that spreads beyond the wound and keeps growing for years. Kannur patients most often bring earlobe keloids from piercing, chest and shoulder keloids from acne, and thickened surgical scars, frequently with a family history of the same.
The Kannur clinic’s standard approach pairs two treatments. A brief freeze with liquid nitrogen softens the dense collagen, and an intralesional injection of anti-inflammatory medicine is then placed into the scar, where it spreads more evenly because of the freezing. Sessions are repeated every three to four weeks; itch and redness ease within one or two, and flattening becomes clear over three to six. Numbing cream is applied before each.
Silicone gel or sheets every day and pressure earrings for the earlobe hold the result between sessions. Large or earlobe keloids are removed surgically at the Kannur clinic under local anaesthesia, with injections given into the wound at surgery and at intervals afterwards; this combination, never surgery alone, is what keeps them from regrowing. Dr. Thajudheen reviews the surgical plans.
Prevention is explained at the first visit: no new piercings in keloid-prone ears, silicone on any fresh wound, early acne treatment to prevent chest scars, and a warning to any surgeon before a planned operation. Progress is photographed, and any recurrence is treated early, when it responds fastest.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions — Keloid Treatment in Kannur
Why combine cryotherapy with the injection?
Freezing softens the dense collagen of a keloid so the injected medicine spreads evenly through it instead of pooling at the needle tip. The combination flattens firm keloids faster than injections alone.
Is earlobe keloid surgery done in Kannur?
Yes, under local anaesthesia at the Highway Junction clinic, with injections at the time of surgery and in the weeks after, and a pressure earring worn for months to prevent regrowth.
What does keloid treatment cost in Kannur?
It depends on the number and size of keloids and whether cryotherapy, injections or surgery are involved. The plan and the cost are explained at the consultation.
How soon will the itching and redness settle?
Usually within the first one or two sessions. These are signs of an active keloid and respond before the lump has finished flattening, which takes three to six sessions.
Can I prevent keloids before an operation?
Yes. Tell the surgeon, see us beforehand, start silicone as soon as the wound closes, and have the scar checked early so injections can begin at the first sign of thickening.
