Question : I am 34 year old mother of two kids. I feel my bcg mark is growing and I feel pain when I touch it.
Brief Answer:
Keloid
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
You have developed keloid.
It is hardening of skin at the site of injury.
We treat such cases with steroid injection.
Local intra lesional steroid injection works very well.
It needs to be given once a month for 3 to 4 months.
You can meet a dermatologist and take this injection.
It is safe and effective.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
