Major Symptoms of Keloid

Keloid is a condition characterized by the appearance of raised, red, and sometimes itchy bumps on the skin, which can be itchy, sore, or raw. They usually appear on the arms, legs, or buttocks, and can be accompanied by other symptoms such as itching, burning, or redness.

Suitable Lifestyle for People with Keloid

The suitable lifestyle for people with Keloid varies from person to person, but here are some lifestyle suggestions that may suit them:

1. Avoid direct sunlight: Keloid may be aggravated by direct sunlight, so you should avoid going out when the sun is strong , especially in the afternoon when the sun is strongest.

2. Pay attention to your diet: Diet is very important for skin health. People with Keloid should avoid spicy, greasy, irritating and allergenic foods, as well as stimulating drinks such as alcohol and caffeine. It is recommended to increase foods containing antioxidants and moisturizers such as vitamins C, E, A, G, H and zinc, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, beans and fish.

3. Keep your skin clean: Keeping your skin clean is an important measure to prevent Keloid from getting worse. Washing your face every day and keeping your skin moisturized can help relieve skin discomfort. Also, avoid using overly irritating skin cleansing products.

4. Avoid excessive friction: Excessive friction may aggravate Keloid, so items such as brushes, scrubbers, and cleansers should be avoided, especially those that rub the skin.

5. Maintain mental balance: Keloid may be aggravated by anxiety, stress and emotional instability, so people with Keloid should maintain mental balance and seek appropriate support and treatment. However, these suggestions do not apply to everyone, and you should choose a lifestyle that suits you based on your personal circumstances. It is best to seek the advice of a dermatologist or esthetician to determine what lifestyle options are best for someone with Keloid.
