Hi,
Thanks for query,
Keloid has tendency to re-occur.

Hi Pabitra,Welcome to hcm.
This is risky, because cutting a keloid can trigger the formation of a similar or even larger keloid. Some surgeons achieve success by injecting steroids or applying pressure dressings to the wound site after cutting away the keloid.Consult a surgeon, let him examine and then you can dacide after discussing with him further.
