How to treat a pimple that is like an outgrowth structure?

Hi, I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries. I understand your concern and will try to help you with it. Although the photograph (attachment removed to protect patient identity) is not clear enough to distinguish from a wart or keloid, from your history it seems to be a keloid from a pimple you scratched.

This includes injection of steroids in the keloid or laser therapy.
