Keloid on back itches

2021-09-03 00:05:12
I've had a keloid on my back the size of an almond for 12 years now. It happened after i scratched a pimple long time ago. Sometimes it itches and hurts when I sleep on it, and sometimes it gives me a dull pain. So far it has not increased in size. Should I be worried?
