Asked By:Cabelasman270 in Scranton, Pennsylvania

I got this scar as a child From a U nail. I didn’t get stitches and really didn’t take care of it. It is located on my trunk. Is this a keloids or did it heal this way be I didn’t properly care for the wound? Is there anything I can do for it now. The scar is really raised.
