Is an overproduction of scar tissue, sometimes called hypertrophic scarring. it occurs at the site of a skin injury(operation,vaccination,severe acne,burn, or even a minor scratch). It is faily common on black skin and much less common on white skin. Your keloid is harmless but it may be tender, itchy, or displeasing. Some keloids stop growing or even dissapear by themselves.
TREATMENT
Surgical treatment often causes further scarring unless it is followed by x-ray treatment or injectionm of steroids at the site. Small keloids may be removed by freezing with liquid (crythearpy)
good luck and best wishes
