Q: Hot water and pressure to reduce a keloid?

A:

If this is a developing keloid scar as you mentioned, then your best bet will be to see a plastic surgeon or dermatologist who can properly identify the nature of your scar and begin on a plan of action to reduce the keloid.

There are a few different, effective ways to treat keloids, including steroid injections, silicone or silastic sheets, excision, radiation to name a few. 

Please seek the care of a specialist who can help you in this early phase.

Good Luck!
