General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
The knot you say seems to be a Keloid...overgrowth of scar tissue. its because of scratching/ friction to the scar.id it in future.
The size seems to be big,& its harrasing your psychology.So there is no point in trying drugs/applying ointments. Dont worry,it will be removed surgically..to be followed by plastic surgery
Thank you.
