Photo is not clear. If there's swelling, redness or pus discharge it suggests its infected. If not , then it is plain keloid. Best treatment option is to visit nearby Dermatologist and get injections. If this is not possible, provide me with clear photos so that I can give you treatment accordingly.
Next Steps
