Steroid injections can help reduce the size and appearance of keloids but do not cure them. These injections work by decreasing inflammation and collagen production in the keloid tissue. While they may flatten and soften keloids, multiple treatments may be necessary, and there is a possibility of recurrence after treatment. Other treatment options may also be considered for more effective management.
