[|Human|] My boyfriend plays baseball and has gotten marks on his back from being scratched up from that. But I ve also noticed more intense marks, ones that look old and more scarred. I am curious as to if it s possible that he had been whipped in some way as a child that he hasn t told me about, or if it is just really scratches? They are raised off the skin and almost look like incision scars, but he has not had back surgery. None of them look recent. But when I ask about them he simply says he doesn t know. He s out of the house now and in college but I am just wondering if he has a past he s trying to hide.
[|AI|]  Hi, It may be keloid most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. After thorough examination and investigations your doctor might decide the strategy of management. Intraluminal steroid injection would help to reduce the lesions. Hyaluronic acid gel application may be done. Oral vitamin C and E may be taken. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
