The best way to deal with keloids is to avoid getting them in the first place.  People who already have keloids, or who are very prone to getting them, can take special precautions with skin injuries to prevent keloid scares from forming. Pay attention to even minor skin injuries, and make sure that any wounds are thoroughly cleaned.  Apply an antibiotic cream and bandage to any open wounds, and change the bandage frequently.  Wear loose clothing over the injury site that will not irritate the skin further. The silicon gel sheets mentioned above work well to prevent keloids from forming. Piercings and even tattoos can lead to keloids in some individuals.  If you have developed keloids in the past, or have a family history of keloids in your family, you may want to avoid piercings and tattoos, or consult with a dermatologist before proceeding.
