How Can You Make This Kind Of Scar Go Away... by coolcentbigman(m): 5:40pm On May 11, 2020
Please famz I need help for my kid sister, she got this injury when she was little and the wound has healed but it had turned into a lump or something and keeps getting bigger as she kept growing.

I need help on what to do to make the lump go away because I personally feel embarrassed which time she take of her shirt or when she wears singlets, I would have taken her pic but she refused to let the pics here is just for illustration.
Thanks as you help out.

Keloid. A bump that forms from an injury after it has healed as a result of excess collagen. It's an over_growth of scar tissues, esp. from cuts.
It can be removed surgically, or through laser/pressure therapy, etc.
Modified: i just researched the condition, turns out it's very common. Over 1.5million Nigerians have keloids.

Thanks for the info but is there any other way to get rid of the scar besides surgery? I need to get rid of that ugly scar because it keeps getting bigger.

i'm not really sure... But from what i've heard, you can crush aspirin, mix it with water to form a paste and apply it to the keloid for an hour. Continue for a while until the scar tissue has reduced...
You can check out other home remedies online. But be careful which procedure you follow...
