[|AI|]  Keloids are formed due to exaggerated wound healing response of the body. This is the reason your doctor suggests steroid injection (near the scar I believe) before operating. This would decrease the chances of repeat keloid formation. Though that is always a possibility and steroids are not fail-proof. As far as the steroids is concerned, adequate dose adjusted according to children and weight shall be given. You might want to meet any good plastic surgeon to excise the same.
