I had a small lipoma removed from the shoulder and it ended up with a keloid scar. Can this be revised? Dr has since injected it and now has left a depression . I do not form keloids ever in the past and am wondering if the scar massage I was told to do by the nurse caused this poor result? Keloid is size of thumbprint .
