Will removing a mole on my chest produce a keloid scar?

July 29, 2014
Asked By:danielaregge in England, DE

I'm a 19yr old girl who has two rather large raised moles on my chest that I have had since I was young. I want to get them removed (via a shave excision) but am worried that it will be replace possibly by a keloid scar that could be bigger and more unattractive! What are the chances of getting a keloid?
