Having Itchy Acne. Getting Large And Hard. Using Corticoid Cream. What To Do?
I have an acne 7 years ago at stenum. I didnt open it, after 3 days it become a small but harder spot/ pimple . After that I have my babies and it got larger as they often touch it. I saw some people having the same scars on stenum and they use corticoid cream on it often. It is itchy sometimes and more often now, I dont know what to do. Please let me know. Thanks a lot.

Hi.
From the description, it seems you are having a keloid. A keloid is a hard itchy hypertrophic lesion that may occur after any injury, acne, insect bite body piercing etc. If small it responds to steroid creams and silicone gel sheets. If large requires cryotherapy and intralesions lateroid injections.
A doctor's visit for the same is therefore advised.
Hope that helped.
Take care
