I get keloid scaring on my shoulders, and chest. All have been from acne. I got a tattoo on my forearm (even though my local dermatologist said I shouldn't as it could keloid.) Luckily it didn't. But now several years later I'm wanting to get it removed. Will laser tattoo removal, cause keloid scaring? I know laser tattoo removal causes you to blister, and I don't want those to turn into Keloids. Am I out of luck with removing the tattoo or is it unlikely to scar?
