Keloid Scar

2017-07-17 00:42:29
I got an unknown lump removed, the doctor didn't know what it was at first either, but it was sent in for testing as was found out to be a keloid. I'm worried about the new scar post surgery becoming a keloid too. It's currently 10 days post removal, and I just got the stitches removed today. How long until I can know if it's becoming a keloid?
