Hi mandman,no need to panic and its dangerous to carry out surgery or any sort of cutting because u want to stop keloid.infact u re calling in 4 more problem.first u need to consider the nature of ur skin,if u have a sensitive skin then after healing u will experience growth (keloid) around the stitch.but for those skin that re 'rugged' i mean not prone to keloid,u dnt need to panic becos the stitches cant form keloid.betterstill visit or contact a skin specialist for one on one consultation.take care u can also send me cos im willing to help u out(free consult).

Thanks very much...my skin don't do that,and am hoping it will straigten up with my normal skin level,soon...
