Diet Chart for Keloids
Importance of Diet in Keloids
Keloids are thick, elevated scars that occur as a result of overproduction of collagen after skin injury. An antioxidant-rich, anti-inflammatory nutrient and skin-healing vitamin diet can help:
- Reduce inflammation, exacerbating scarring
- Modulate collagen formation
- Facilitate the healing of wounds
- Shield skin tissue against oxidative damage
Goals of Diet Therapy
- Modulate inflammation and oxidative stress
- Keep collagen balance and healthy skin repair
- Enhance immune function to prevent chronic skin inflammation
- Steer clear of known food allergens that can contribute to keloid growth
