i'm sorry to hear this. many people think a keloid is just a large unattractive scar. they don't realize the pain a keloid can cause. i'd suggest you consult a plastic and reconstructive surgeon. he or she will be able to assess your keloid and provide you with various treatment options from cortisone injections to surgery. of course surgical removal of a keloid can lead to. another keloid. however i've seen good results from the surgical removal of keloids too. at any rate a plastic and reconstructive surgeon will be able to give you all of your options up to an including surgery. you certainly can opt for less aggressive treatment first to see if it will work. i wish you all the best!
i have a stubborn keloid since giving birth to 2 daughters via cesarean 20 yrs ago. still growing & causing inflammation
