Question: I did operation last year March 10 on lumps in the breastbut now I have developed keloids and it inches me a lot that I feel like opening it to the extent that I have given myself marks Plus its not looking like it will grow back to normal like I was told My questions are why does it scratch me a lot and will it grow back to look like the other one
Answer: Hi there and thanks for using Wellvis

Apologies for the tardy response and I hope it still benefits you

Sorry about the symptoms you are experiencing Keloids can be very discomforting especially when they are itchy and painful in some cases This itching is common with keloids and though much is not understood about them the itching may be associated to its interactions with nerves within the skin To remedy this I will recommend visiting a dermatologist who will advice on any of the available treatments like steroids surgical removal or others However unfortunately keloids seem to resurface after intervention

Regarding your second question I am unsure if you are referring to the affected breast or the keloid But please know that keloids do not affect the normal function of the breast to the best of my knowledge Except maybe its impeding suckling in breastfeeding mothers if the keloid is around the nipple
