Asked By:Goitsi in South Africa, ZA

I have problems with keloids in my face that was caused by shaving and i even tried to cut it using nail cut, it started to grow after that. I am considering to go to specialist (General Practitioner) to remove and he told me that they high chances of the keloids to recur once removed. My question to you now is how likely that problem will recur or what the best medicine for it because i am now not confortable with it on my face.
