Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In some patient collagen deposition is extra abnormally.

I suspect same in you.

The only problem to your problem is apply steroid cream over the wound area.

Whenever you have even slight injury you should start applying the steroid cream under your doctors guidance.

The extra collagen you have can only be treated is surgical excision. I advice you to visit nearby surgeon which will guide you regarding excision procedure.

I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
