A keloid can't be totally removed but the appearance of it can be improved dramatically in most cases. There is nothing you can do yourself but there are options available to treat keloids. Treatments include:
cortisone injections
laser treatment
cryosurgery
surgery followed with radiation
Most of the time, doctors will not do "regular" surgery just to remove the keloid; special specific surgery is required. The reason why is that the chances are good the keloid would just return. Keloids are extremely hard to treat. Please see a dermatologist to see what options are best for your skin type.
