Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

The rash could be a keloid or a hypertrophic scar. But there is another possible diagnosis too. So, it is very important to confirm the diagnosis by proper clinical examination before initiating the treatment. I request you to consult your Dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis and for initiating the proper treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Siva Subramanian,
