Keloid formation due to injury on knee

Question

Asked for Female, 21 Years

I met with a small accident while riding a bicycle and injured my right knee. The doctor didn't stiched the would but just dressing was done. It took about 2 months for the wound to completely dry and now a keloid sort of formation appears at the place of wound ( it's now been 4months since injury). The uplifted skin patch pains even when slightly touched . What is the treatment for this?
