How to treat keloids!

That swollen, thick scar on your chest or your ear — the one that keeps growing even though the wound healed a long time ago. Someone looked at it and told you to rub ori on it and leave it. They said it will go. Emeka, Nkechi, it will not go. But there are real, medically proven things that can help you — and that is exactly what this video is about. In this video, Aproko Doctor breaks down everything you need to know about keloids — what they are, why so many Africans get them, and the treatment options your doctor can actually offer you. You’ll learn: → Why your body keeps producing a protein called collagen like a bag that is already full → The difference between a keloid and a scar, and why it matters for your treatment. → Why Africans are 15 times more likely to develop keloids than white people. → The surprising triggers: ear piercings, shaving cuts, pimples, and even a small scratch. → Every treatment option your dermatologist might recommend. → Why shea butter and cocoa butter will moisturise your skin but will never shrink a keloid. → The honest answer to whether your keloid will ever go away on its own.
