It's called Keloid unfortunately that's how your body healed after an injury. It's not harmful, surgery might make it worse. However there might be something you can rob to melt it away gradually

A keloid is a type of raised scar that grows excessively at the site of a healed skin injury. Unlike normal scars, keloids can grow much larger than the original wound and may continue to grow over time. Key Features of Keloids: Appearance: Thick, raised, and often shiny or rubbery. Can be pink, red, purple, or darker than surrounding skin. Texture: Firm or hard to the touch. Size: May continue to grow well beyond the boundaries of the original wound. Symptoms: Often painless, but may cause itching, tenderness, or discomfort. Common Locations: Chest, shoulders, upper back, earlobes, and cheeks. Causes and Risk Factors: Causes: Usually develop after skin injuries such as: Cuts Surgical incisions Burns Acne Piercings Insect bites Risk Factors: Genetic predisposition Darker skin tones (more common in people of African, Asian, or Latin descent) Age (more frequent in people between 10 and 30 years old) Treatment Options: Non-surgical: Corticosteroid injections (to reduce inflammation and size) Silicone sheets or gels Cryotherapy (freezing) Laser therapy Pressure therapy Surgical: Surgical removal (note: high risk of recurrence, often worse if not followed by other therapies) Emerging Treatments: Radiation therapy (post-surgical) Interferon injections 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) injections Prevention: Avoid unnecessary skin trauma (e.g., piercings or tattoos if you're prone to keloids). Use pressure earrings or silicone sheets after surgery or injury. Early treatment of acne or other skin conditions to avoid scarring. 1 Like |

Jazz/juju scar …. Abeg calm down and learn everything no be juju or jazz…. Keloids are formed from overhealing of the skin when there is an injury, the injury can be as a result of pimples bursting , shaving etc . It happens to people with delicate skin. A kenajection would help reduce it, go see your doctor . PS. A family member has this exact same keloid zeuss: |

brightDdon: Go see a dermatologist to give you shots of Triancinolone acetonide otherwise known as Kenajection. It will flatten it . That's a kiloid growth. If you don't act it will continue to grow making your chest unsightly to behold. Don't do anything to aggravate it like scratching or anything else it grows massively. If you operate there is still a chance it will return without those Kenalog shots. Kiloids is one hell of an ugly and sticky situation. |

brightDdon: A raised scar after an injury has healed. A keloid is caused by an excess of a protein (collagen) in the skin during healing. Keloids are often lumpy or ridged. The scar rises after an injury or condition has healed, such as a surgical incision or acne. Keloids aren't harmful and don't need treatment. If a person finds them unattractive, a doctor can sometimes minimise the scars. |

The last treatment I knew of a relative was as Uniben Teachings Hospital. Benin city. He took 💉 injection occasionally for 6 months. Luckily for him he was a student of Uniben. And it has cleared off from his neck completely. Traditionally, I learnt application of raw onion water with salt as many times in a day will clear it off. Best of luck. |

I had Keloids on my face, did surgery including skin transplant, because of the transplant my Radiotherapy was delayed which I guess made the Keloid develope again. I have been using Python fat for over 2 weeks now, will it still work if the Keloid is not tender? Hisroyalbeat: |

Gather sermons on faith by Pst Kenneth Having, Pst Chris Oyakhilome etc., listen to them repeatedly and keep speaking to the growth: You growth on my chest, die to your roots and be removed from my body in Jesus name Amen. Then give God thanks If you do the declaration several times a day for 3 months, I'm sure you won't see it again 1 Like |

One person already answered you correctly. My skin reacts to scars by having keloids too but KENALOG took it right off completely after a number of treatments - your Dr will advise how many times. Do not have just anyone just inject you as it needs to be evenly distributed around the site. SURGERY will only leave a wider scar. And it most likely will recur when the scar of the surgery tries to heal. I had one years ago that kept growing and itched so bad and hurt sometimes. So I am speaking from experience when I tell you to get a Dr to treat you with the KENAjections (they would space out the doses out since this is a steroid treatment) and it would melt that thing down completely. I did mine 16 years ago and that injection was expensive then but very well worth it. You can maybe also use Bio Oil alongside it but not necessarily. The surrounding area will initially lighten up but over time, will get back to your normal skin tone as the skin softens. I tried all that snail oil, etc. didn’t work. Just kenalog did. Good luck! 1 Like |

brightDdon: Looks very much like a keloid scar. It could increase in size and get worse. You need to stop touching it or trying to pop it. There's nothing to pop there. It's not like a boil or anything. That's mostly flesh. What you need to do is to buy snake oil and rub it on the scar everyday from time to time. It could work but it's not guaranteed. But what's guaranteed is taking an injection for it. I know of someone who had it all over his face and neck. He met a doctor, paid 100 thousand naira and took injections in every scar for several days and they all went flat. Another treatment is to freeze it. Not with ice block o. You'll have to see a dermatologist who has such medication. Another one is laser treatment. It can be used to flatten the scar. Never do surgery to get rid of it as it's likely to come back, and even worse. Don't forget, see a dermatologist and do a little research about keloid treatment. 1 Like |

brightDdon: There is a cream or gel called scar removal. There are different brands. I don't know if you can find it in Nigeria though. I used it on a scar on my arm and it went down considerably for the few times I used it. I don't use it regularly but I know it works |

It's keloid and you can't get it off. You can reduce the irritation by treatment and injections!!! You will be fine because it's not harmful anyways but the irritation could be alarming. Please go to the hospital for treatment. |

brightDdon: Read this case study...... 35-year-old male presented to Dr. Tirgan in December 2013 with severely painful chest keloids that he has had for several years. His struggles with these keloids started when he was 20 years old when three small keloids appeared on his chest, one of which over time became painful. At age of 24, he underwent his first surgery, and all three keloids were removed. Within a few months all three keloid regrew, and he underwent another surgery. Al three keloid grew back and became larger. He was thereafter treated with steroid injections that did not provide much help and the patient lived with very painful keloids for close to a decade until he came to see Dr. Tirgan in December 2013. Hyper-inflammatory chest keloids hyper-inflammatory Extensive chest keloid Treatment with intra-lesional chemotherapy was started and over the next several months, the pain gradually improved. A year later, his pain was 90% better and the keloids were less red and much less inflamed. Hyper-inflammatory chest keloids - Treated with ILC Hyper-inflammatory chest keloids - Treated with chemotherapy How many times do you want to operate on your Hyper-inflammatory chest keloids..... It would simply keep growing back...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28JkyUWSOJM?si=o5YlGIQJF1aZZqUK 1 Like |

The growth on the chest in your image is a keloid scar, which is a type of raised, thickened scar that extends beyond the original wound site. Keloids can be persistent and sometimes challenging to treat, but several effective solutions are available. Treatment is often tailored to the size, location, and duration of the keloid, as well as individual skin type. ## Medical and Dermatological Treatments - **Corticosteroid Injections:** These are among the most common and effective treatments. Steroid injections reduce inflammation and collagen production, helping to flatten and soften the keloid over time. Multiple sessions are usually required, spaced a few weeks apart[1][2]. - **Cryotherapy:** Freezing the keloid with liquid nitrogen can reduce its size, especially for smaller or newer keloids. Cryotherapy is sometimes combined with steroid injections for better results[1][2]. - **Laser Therapy:** Pulsed-dye laser and other vascular lasers can help flatten keloids, improve their color, and reduce symptoms like redness and itching. Laser therapy is often combined with steroid injections for thicker scars[1][2]. - **Silicone Gel or Sheets:** Applying silicone-based products to the keloid can help flatten and soften the scar over time. These are particularly effective for early-stage or smaller keloids and are safe for long-term use[1][3]. - **Surgical Removal:** For very large or persistent keloids, surgical excision may be considered, often followed by other treatments (such as steroid injections or radiation) to reduce the risk of recurrence[4][3]. - **Radiation Therapy:** In difficult or recurrent cases, low-dose radiation therapy after surgical removal can help prevent the keloid from coming back. This is usually reserved for severe cases due to potential long-term risks[4][1][3]. ## Home Remedies and Adjuncts - **Aspirin Paste:** Topical application of aspirin paste may help reduce keloid size and pigmentation, but should be used with caution and stopped if irritation occurs[5]. - **Garlic, Honey, and Onion Extract:** These natural remedies have some evidence for reducing keloid size and symptoms, but results are variable and they are best used as adjuncts to medical therapy[5]. ## Important Considerations - Keloids are prone to recurrence, even after successful treatment. Combining therapies and following up with your dermatologist can help achieve the best results. - Some treatments, if not performed correctly, can worsen keloids. Always consult a qualified dermatologist before starting any treatment, especially for large or complex keloids like the one shown in your image[1][2][3]. ## Summary Table of Treatment Options | Treatment | Effectiveness | Notes | |--------------------------|--------------|----------------------------------------------------| | Corticosteroid injections| High | Multiple sessions, reduces size and symptoms | | Cryotherapy | Moderate | Best for small/new keloids, often combined | | Laser therapy | Moderate | Improves appearance, often combined with steroids | | Silicone gel/sheets | Moderate | Non-invasive, good for early/small keloids | | Surgery | Variable | High recurrence unless combined with other therapy | | Radiation | High (with surgery)| Reserved for severe/recurrent cases | | Home remedies | Low-Moderate | Adjunct only, variable results | Consulting a dermatologist is essential for a structured, safe, and effective treatment plan tailored to your specific case[1][2][3].
