Keloid removal on tongue? (Photo)

June 24, 2017
Asked By:nichel21 in Raleigh-Durham, NC

I have a keloid on my tongue created by pressure from my thumb guard when i had braces. I've had this scar for 12 years is there anyway to remove the keloid? It may be hard to tell from the picture but the keloid is raised quite a bit and is noticeable to other people.
