What Causes Keloid In The Breast?

hello, I recently got a breast lift (two weeks ago) yesterday I noticed what appears to be a keloid on the left one. This evening I took a shower and put a little aloe on it and now it appears to be bleeding. The blood does not look fresh. Should I be concerned?

Hi.
As per your case history you are having a furuncle, not a keloid.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like levofloxacin, cefadroxil and azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
