The single most important food that needs to be avoided is the wheat, white bread, white flour and aspartame as they are the most acid forming food that I can identify. Besides the fact that wheat promotes candida growth in humans, and fungus growth, it also has gluten and many people are intolerant, leading to inflammation of the skin.
One major reason why Asians don't get sick is that Asians eat rice and Western Culture, and only RECENTLY started eating wheat. U.S. made a switchover from millet and wheat more than 50 years ago and the health problems pretty much goes down the drain and this is much of the problems with inflammation. It is actually more healthy eating the traditional staple of millet, so much about the Green Revolution. Millet is an alkaline forming foods and has vitamin B17, which is anti-cancer, but also increases the body's immunity and reduced skin problems through reduction in inflammation.
When the skin is inflammed and immune systems are down, the body tries to put the dust in the rug rather than removing it due to weak immunity.
In the morning, a whey protein once or twice in the morning, early dinner. This will enable quick healing if the skin. If the skin heals quickly, keloids don't form. But scarring is also the lack of vitamin E, and 200 i.u. a day may help. Most important is that vitamin C sodium ascorbate 1000 mg is taken once a day to help faster healing, while vitamin E will reduce scarring, and whey protein to increase the speed of healing.
Some ocassional zinc gluconate 50 mg, twice a week may be needed, and some granulate lecithin may help nerve transmission in responding to healing.' Most importantly, it will be the baking soda that helps most of the healing, so avoiding lemon or sour food at least for now I think will be more helpful to me.
The baking soda is taken at 1/2 teaspoon in 1/2 glass of water at least twice a day, once in the morning and once before bedtime. It takes about 3 weeks to a month to notice improve skin.
The other problem about skin complexion is the problematic fried foods and the use of hydrogenated vegetable oils and vegetable oils in general. Once or twice a week evening primrose oils 500-1000 mg and also fish oil will help raise the omega 3 and reduce scarring as fish oils are known for that and at least in one cases I found reduce keloids with fish oils supplements. Fish oils interestingly can be taken more frequently than the primrose oil and can be taken once every other day should be sufficient to promote normal healing and reduce scarring.
This is mostly preventive to prevent newer keloids form forming, but the old ones will generally be reduced rather slowly since it has formed a long time ago.

I would be really interested to learn why we shouldn't eat tomatos, onion and garlic as they are heavy alkaline
