    Default Keloid scar or Epidermoid/sebaceous cyst?

    I have this hard little red lump on my chest. I can't tell what it is. Its been there for over 2 years now but recently it started being annoying. It gets itchy and sometimes it hurts too especially when it brushes against my shirt. Need help guys. I have attached some pics.

    Hi Paul ! Though your pic is not very clear it seems like keloid to me according to your history,which has got infected due to frequent injury recently. First treating the infection is very crucial with some oral and topical antibiotic. Than according to your choice potent topical steroids, silicon gel, scar gels or intralesional corticosteroid injection can be used to treat the condition.
