A keloid can't be totally removed but the appearance of it can be improved dramatically in most cases. You could try mederma since you say this is small. Mederma can be purchased at any drug store; however, usually a dermatologist is needed. 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
