Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

I would treat this keloid with early pulsed dye laser, IIT, and pressure treatment since it is relatively early in the process of growth.

Norman Bakshandeh Day, MD, FACS · Answer

you are developing a keloid. See a plastic surgeon. You can be helped with a combination of surgery, steroid injections, and creams.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

You are starting to form a "keloid". seek therapy ASAP from a doctor. Like steroid injections, scar creams, etc. Do you have other bad scared areas?
