Keloids developed after starting tattoo removal. Will continuing the removal process cause more keloids?

caseyj0
I have a tattoo behind my ear that has had 1 session of laser removal and 3 sessions of tatt2-away (teprsol) done. The 3rd session of tatt2-away was done more deeply causing 2 small keloids. I visited a dermatologist PA who told me there is nothing I can do to finish removal of this tattoo as it will cause more keloids. Is she correct? Is there anything else I can do?
