R6 Keloid Cream:
R6 Keloid Cream is a compounded formulation containing six different pharmaceutical ingredients. Approximately 10% of patients have shown dramatic responses to these treatments.
The images below illustrate the most remarkable response observed with this cream. The image on the left was taken by Dr. Tirgan in his office in April 2014, and the image on the right was taken by the patient in July 2018. Over this period, the patient applied the R5 Cream, an older version of the current R6 cream, to the keloid consistently for three years. This dramatic improvement led Dr. Tirgan to prescribe the cream to many more of his patients.
Complete response in a tumoral pubic keloid.
The images below were provided by one of Dr. Tirgan's patients who applied the cream to her pubic keloid over several months. After one year of consistent use, there was almost complete resolution of the tumoral keloid. The patient has meticulously documented her treatment journey, showcasing the significant progress achieved.

Ongoing Response in a Chest Keloid
The images below were submitted by another patient who used the R6 cream to her chest keloids for several months. Here is the e mail that she sent to me on July 19, 2021.
Hello Dr. Tirgan,
I wanted to provide another update with pictures on my chest keloids using the R6 cream, which I have just re-ordered again. I have been using it since June 2020 and I can definitely tell some improvements. See attached for the progression pictures with dates. I believe the cream is continuing to help with the bulky areas as well as reduce the redness to some of the areas that were less bulky, or more flat, to begin with. The keloids also feel a bit more soft in some areas. I very rarely get shooting pains through them anymore. Occasionally, they will still itch, but not nearly to the extreme as they did before starting the cream. They are still sensitive to the touch and it is hard to tell if the cream has improved that at all. However looking at the comparison pictures today I am happy with the results.
Thank you,
JW
Effect of R6 cream on Chest Keloids.
Excellent pain control - chest keloid
The third patient is a 59-year-old African American female who developed keloids on her chest following surgery. The lesions (shown in the image below on the left) were causing significant pain and discomfort, making it nearly impossible for her to touch them. Within just a few days of applying the R5 cream, the patient reported a notable reduction in keloid pain.
The image on the right was taken 10 days after she began using the R5 cream, revealing dark mottling on the keloid's surface and a reduction in inflammation. She is now able to press against the keloid without experiencing any discomfort. While it was still early to fully assess the cream's effectiveness, the patient was encouraged to continue her treatment.
Excellent Long-Term Treatment Results - Post-mammoplasty chest keloids
The same patient continued using the R6 cream and returned for a follow-up in August 2022, nearly five years after her initial visit. She had used the R5 cream initially, followed by intermittent use of the R6 Keloid Cream. The images below illustrate the remarkable improvement achieved through long-term use of Dr. Tirgan's R6 cream, showcasing nearly total resolution of her post-mammoplasty keloids.
Excellent Interim Results - Shoulder and chest keloids
This patient applied the R6 cream to her shoulder and chest keloids for approximately 11 months. The images below illustrate a noticeable improvement in the thickness of both keloids. The patient has been advised to continue using the cream for an additional year to enhance results further.
Who Should NOT take R5 or R6 creams
Anyone with a history of drug allergy (to any drug). We had one patient who had a known past allergy to NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) who used the R6 cream and had an allergic skin reaction. She was advised to stop using the cream.
Positive comments about the cream
1-I started using the R5 cream on August 30th, 2018 and almost two months later I can honestly say that the keloid has improved. It has become flatter, less red and also the symptoms of pain and itchiness are still present but improved. I will continue to use the cream as long as Dr. Tirgan agrees and hopefully, it will become skin leveled (TC).
2-Keloids have decreased in size slightly each day but is noticeable (JJ).
3-The product has softened my keloids and has reduced some redness. The product has also made a few keloids smaller (EC).
4-Less itching and burning. Some scars appear lighter and flatter (DS).
5- I’ve had keloids are over 32 years. After applying the cream they are a bit softer and less “angry” although I must say that it is minimal yet I can notice it (CS).
6-Swelling and thickness is getting less and secretion has also decreased. Noticed slight improvement in itching and irritation (GP).
7-The itch has been reduced in all except the big one on my chest. The pain in my back has been less. The size of most of my keloids have been reduced. The smaller ones are most noticeably smaller. The big ones on my shoulders used to get very inflamed when it was time for another injection but they are not inflamed and appear to be getting smaller. I have not had or needed any injections since using the cream. I’ve been using the cream for about six weeks so far (PB).
8-Some of the areas that are already flat but slightly red now have a more natural appearance. The part of the keloid that remained after the cryotherapy and somewhat raised may be a bit flatter and no longer itches. The smaller of the two keloid areas appears to show more improvement. Applying the cream to the very small keloid has resulted in flattening of the raised area (AC).
9-So far so good! I'm glad I purchased the product (RA).
10-It helps with the pain I use to feel, it has worked better in some areas than other.
11-Day 1 after using R5 cream I noticed a difference right away. The keloids were a lot smaller, they also did not feel as bumpy. The color of my keloids matched my skin pigmentation with the exception of some of the bigger keloids still being light pink. After about 2 1/2 weeks of using the R5 I notice that after I put the cream on, the bigger keloids are very flattened for about 8 hours then rise back up. The bigger and more noticeable/ bumpier keloids are having a harder time diminishing. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the progress my keloids have made in the short amount of time that I have been using the R5 cream (MG).
12-The cream had been working pretty good in my opinion. It feels like the keloid has gotten a lot smaller (AA).
13-I have noticed that the texture of the keloid has softened and the color is changing and is less red and irritated looking and it seems like the borders are slowly starting to shrink (DB).

What can be expected from the keloid cream?
Approximately 20% of patients using the cream have reported improvements in the appearance of their keloids. Encouragingly, the cream has demonstrated clear anti-itch activity in about 66% of patients experiencing itching and pain. For those currently using the cream, please continue applying it to your keloid twice daily, unless you notice any adverse reactions. It is important to use the cream consistently for several months to achieve optimal results. In the patients described above, noticeable regression of the tumoral keloids took over a year.
How to use the cream?
- When you receive the cream for the first time, it is important to perform a patch test by applying a small amount to the back of your hand. This will help ensure you do not have a sensitivity to any of the ingredients. If you experience any adverse reactions, such as itching, burning, or redness, wash your hands with soap and water immediately. Do not use the cream and contact Dr. Tirgan.
If the patch test is successful, apply the cream to your keloid twice daily. Be sure to clean the area before application.
- Application Guidelines:
- Apply the cream solely to the keloid area, minimizing contact with normal skin.
- If the keloid is surrounded by a red margin, include that area in your application.
- For small facial keloids, use a Q-tip to apply the cream directly to the keloid tissue.
If you experience any problems while using the cream, discontinue use immediately.
For best results, apply the cream for a minimum of two months, unless issues arise. If you notice any degree of improvement, continue the treatment. However, if you see no improvement after two months, you may stop the treatment.
To objectively assess your progress, take pictures of your keloids before starting treatment and regularly thereafter (once a week).
