Suture Thread and Keloid Scars

Five years ago I suffered wounds. I developed very bad keloids after I was sawn up. This had never happened before. The scars are still inflamed and painful, even though I am now treating them with a DENAS machine. They are getting better it seems.

I am wondering if the suture thread that was used was not containing/promoting retinoid acid. I tried to obtain the brand from the surgeon but could not.

That is interesting, and perhaps it is just that an over-abundance of VA is sent to the wound area if a person is high VA?

It seems to me that when I get a wound now there is less inflammation, quicker healing and less itch on the healing spot.

In the past, I read that keloids could be about the need for iodine, which I suppose could be part of it as well.

Iodine, no way for me in that case. I was swimming every day in the sea + eating fish.

It seems some absorbable threads use Polyglycolic Acid, which turns into Glycolic acid when it disintegrates. 

Any relation to retinoid acid?
