I haven't even clicked the link, yet, but good luck, Catty!
I am a keloid scar person, too. Thankfully, I have not had any major surgery that would leave a scar, but I know it would be awful if I did. My worst two scars are on my right shoulder and my right hand, but over time, they have settled down and aren't so red and raised anymore.
I had a pre-cancerous mole removed on my shoulder and the healing process was awful. I have had shots of steroids injected there, years ago, to try and calm down the redness. My mother is one of those people who scars badly and she was determined that I wouldn't have such a bad scar. I have no feeling in that area and if someone rubs it, I can't feel a thing. Strange stuff.
I had a bad burn on my right hand when I was in high school. We were making candy apples at church and I got some of that hot liquid on my hand. The healing process was awful and I didn't go to the doctor.I think my mother has always felt some guilt about that, but she shouldn't. They did what they thought was right at the time. That particular scar was awful, as if someone took a bite out of my hand, right where my thumb and index finger connect. I had surgery on that spot twice, by a plastic surgeon, who wasn't happy with the first results. He ended up going in that fleshy place where your thumb and index finger join, the second time, but still, I have a pretty nasty scar. At least it isn't red and "angry" anmore. Time has taken care of that.
Wish some of those miracle things were out there when mine were fresh. I went through lots of pain and trips to a neighboring city as a result, and probably would have been fine if they had just been left alone. Live and learn.
Good luck with your treatment. I hope it will help.

I don't usually Keloid, my hospital scars healed beautifully. But I had several pre-skin cancer biopsies done on my chest area and one keloided and I hate it. It bothers me more than the thing she biopsied!! And the chest? Come on, I'm a girl!! Ugh.
