Can these HS keloid scars be removed or significantly reduced? (Photos)

Brave7838
I recently went to a dermatologist to see about getting my HS scars removed. She informed me that these are actually keloids. She was adamant that there was no way to do anything but slightly reduce them, and t they couldn’t be removed at all. I’m hoping to get some additional expert opinions. TIA!
