Brief Answer:
Hypertrophic scar, not malignant
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your complaints and reviewed the attached photograph.
It seems to be a hypertrophic scar.
It occurs as a normal phenomenon to injury or scar in some individuals.
It is not malignant.
It has a tendency to enlarge during its course but nothing to worry about.
