Keloids often require no treatment. Keloids may be reduced in size by freezing , external pressure, corticosteroid injections, laser treatments, radiation, or surgical removal.

Corticosteroid injectionsCorticosteroids are medicines that contain steroids (a type of hormone) and can be used to reduce inflammation. If there is inflammation, corticosteroids can be injected around the affected tendon or into the tendon sheath.Although corticosteroid injections can relieve pain, they do not have a long-term effect and the pain often returns. You can have another injection, but you will need to wait at least six weeks. It is not possible to have more than three injections into the same area in a year because it can increase the risk of the tendon rupturing (splitting).Thinning and lightening of the skin are two possible side effects of corticosteroid injections.SOURCE: http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Tendonitis/Pages/Treatment.aspx
