Vicks VapoRub is primarily used for relieving cough and muscle aches, and there’s limited scientific evidence to support its effectiveness for keloid pain specifically. Some individuals may experience temporary relief from itching or discomfort due to its menthol content, but it is not a recognized treatment for keloids. For persistent keloid pain, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate management options.

Can Vicks vapor rub remove keloid scar pain?
