Hello I got a keloid out of nowhere like 5-6 years ago, I had a surgery in india to remove it but it got worse and bigger and it's spreading. Now I have 2 on my chest wall. I searched everywhere consoling doctors every day and I got injections every week. But it's getting bigger and worse. The pain is not bearable. Doctors don't believe when I say it's hurting like hell. They say it ll be itchy and that's normal but its both itchy and painful. Right now it's hurting like hell and I really find it hard to breath. It's like something is inside my chest it's not on surface I feel the pain inside the chest even I feel pain near my throat and I can't breath easily. The pain comes suddenly so hard and goes away. Then comes back after while. Can't sleep at nights. I was wondering maybe it's not keloid. I don't know what to do where to go. Please if possible would you help me out? I appreciate it Thanks.

Dear Keloids are overgrowing scars that do not heal. If it is painful, ingrowing and spreading; you had better visit an oncologist to investigate further. A skin doctor may not help. Regards.
