I developed a keloid from a skin cancer biopsy on my upper chest and am fearful that a keloid could develop from BA incisions.

I had a very small spot biopsied from the middle of my chest just below my collar bone. The biopsy site developed a keloid scar which I have never had before! No change from cortisone injections and laser treatments. The ARNP warned me that if I ever get surgery in the chest area, to beware of keloid scarring. I am seriously considering BA but am fearful that I could develop keloids. Can any docs offer any advice/experience with similar cases? (PS-this scar is always exposed to sun.) Thanks!
