Why I Still Have Keloid On My Chest Even After Surgery ?
Hi i have a kelloid on my chest very visible at all time as it is very high close to the neck. It started with a birth mark and as it grew bigger it started paining and formed a kelloid. Ive had a surgery done 10 years ago it appeared again, then laser treatment 7 yrs ago it is a bit flat but red and highly visible.. Kindly suggest

I had a bike accident and i had a very bad wound on my hand. As the wound was too deep, it healed with a scar ( kelloids ). It looks so bad that i cannot show it to people.
Hi,
Keloid is such a thing the more you try to meddle with the aggressive it becomes. Better to neglect it. Some have tried injecting steroids and claimed success to a certain extent. Please do consult your plastic surgeon.
