Keloid scar after radical mastectomy 7 years ago (Photo)

Kim Q
Please advise how can the keloid is treated or let it be. Thank you. I had a radical mastectomy ( L) in 2010 and following with Radiation and Tamoxifen treatment. The scar heal well but the lower end of scar became keloid. It was red and painful. Recently, the keloid has extended further and I has suffered from sharp pain, especially as wearing bra.
