BKMs on getting scar (keloid) away

Intro:-
Well, some of u might have wonder wat is BKM means. Its actually knowned to me when i join the multinational company which embrace developing so-called "Best Known Method" to improve process efficiency or able to give new ppl to follow certain guideline which had been developed by more experience ppl...... haha tat's all about BKM.

History:-
So i guess lots of ppl had this kind of skin problem called "keloid". I feel regret to know too little about it which i have it for almost 15years......(since 12 years old when kena BCG injection in school). It had been growing since 15 years back from 1cm to now almost 4cm long. Well it might be a small growth for 15years (just 3cm growth), but the amount of irritation & pain when it is subjected to contact. Don't try it.... trust me.... (its ore painful than u scratch a pimple on ur face accidentally!!) Unfortunately the "Lum" family has it except my mother, including all my 4 brothers & sister. (except David coz nowadays school never give BCG anymore at 12yrs old)

My experience:-
After having it for the painful 15yrs, i decided to seek specialist attention after the irritation become more obvious probably becoz its start growing again..... (its something like a volcano). Since its covered by my "good employer", i decided to seek medication. The Doctor (1 of the best in Penang) jab me 3 times for the 1st consultation. Wow.... tat's a lot for a first timer right?! Anyway, she explained to me its bcoz she needs to spread the medicine uniformly on the keloid.
Its good the nurse gave me icecubes to freeze my keloid bfore the jab was action!! I feel ok after the jab & drive home with my wife ( Leng is a strong supporter for me to get the jab since we know my father went for the jab..... she complaints tat i am a coward..... ceh :( )

After i reach home, the pain of the jab starts to emerge..... oh..... really hurts.... probably the cool freeze keloid starts to return to its normal state. I could hardly move my left hand or get into a afternoon sleep......! Anyway, after like 7-8hours the pain starts to decrease in frequency but still cannot move my hand actively (even my shoulder & neck got cramp & stiff for 1-2day).

Advise:- Try get the jab on Saturday so u have Sat & Sun to recover bfore back to work!!

Today it had been almost 1 week after the jab & i have also collected a silicon-gel called "scarfade" recomended by doc to help the keloid recovery. Well, over 1 week the keloid actually reduce in size for about 5-10% plus its not so reactive as before the jab. The keloid actually softens and contracted. I need to go for follow-up visit after a months time.

Patient feedback:-
As a summary, i rated this treatment (jab+ gel) to 80% satisfactory and thumbs-up!! (although its painful after the jab). I strongly recomend my brothers & sister to try this treatment as soon as possible if u feel ur keloid is irritating or reactive (only u urself knows the best). It will be easier to treat if the keloid is still soft & young and don't wait until its hard & stiff (fr. wat the Doc advise). The harder the keloid, the more jab needed to neutralize it.... so take action fast!!!

Pls refer to this silicon-gel product (quite expensive ~RM110 for 15gm) and get it cheap from govt hospital pharmacy.

This link have lots of very useful info on how this keloid develop & got scientific tested info. Lucky i got this gel under "company expense"..... keke.... so lucky!!!

To all ppl who face this problem, its time for a change & make life less painful for us..... 15yrs of this is a time for change to me...... give urself a chance to heal!!!

FYI: 1st jab + consultation ~ RM120 (at Lam Wah Ee hospital Penang)
Silicon-gel ~ RM130

Police force revamp!!

Finally we are seeing some +ve sign in one of the Govt services which suffers critics for the past years......

The rise of new IGP is pledging to put crimes in his 1st duty will certainly be a good start to revamp the poor imaged force of the country.

To me its like a restructuring & refresh to Y the force keep complaining about lack of forces. According to today's news, duplication of task had been identify & redeployment of them into the streets to serve the public better is definately a very impressive thought to have by the top IGP!! Kudos to it...... (we haven't been seeing this kinda of move for quite sometime....)

Just to add-on that i think the police force needs to do more patrol either in car or motorbike in streets rather than in the office waiting for the public to come to lodge a report!! To me i will advise the forces to use more motorbikes to tackle the snatch thieves & small crimes which motorbikes can provide them the ultimate mobility than car...... (wasting petrol especially....)

Deploying police everywhere in a random or rotational basis is a very good check on the security of various spot in the area, especially in the crime prone area...... i still dun believe in spending too much time in the office figuring the theory while crime rate is rising. Its a management issue where the police forces need to balance between tactical skills & practical crime prevention!!!
