my ex had these..all it was was an outgrowth of extra skin,say from a scar,or a mole.in most cases they can easily be removed.it's usually nothing to be concerned about unless you don't like the look of it.

as far as i know,there's no medication for it,it just happens to some people. but what they do is either surgically remove it if it's big enough,or freeze it off depending on size. if they're just small outgrowths,they usually elect for dermabrasion/resufacing of the skin instead.

I also have a keloid due to my caesarian operation. I am using Dermatix to heal it. Over a month of using it, I am seeing a very good improvement. You can try it.
