How to Treat Keloid or Hypertrophic Scarring in Incision Scars

January 10, 2011
Asked By:Anon T in Australia

I had a breast implant removal about 3 months ago.Since then my infra mammary scars have become slightly raised, hard and adhered to the underlying tissues but limited to the scar boundaries. My PS advised me to massage them daily 2-3 times a day which I have been doing for the past month.It seems to have improved however I have noticed a very small nodule that has developed within one of the scars (very small only 0.5mm).Do I need any further treatment and will this worsten or resolve w time?
