Keloid removal for a BABY?

Darryl J. Blinski, MD answers: Keloid removal for a baby?

My child has keloid on the vertex of his head since birth. Now, he is 11 months old. What is the best treatment at this age group as it is still increasing.

I must agree with the other doctor posting. You really should explore a biopsy after the infant is 18 months old to determine the exact pathology.
