Kiloid Question (Kiloids are scars)

One of my original incisions formed a very annoying kiloid. During band removal, Dr. Billy was nice enough to remove the kiloid, though there's a chance it will come back bigger. The rest of my incisions are flat.

Today at work I realized how my bra really irritates that area below and between the boobies. I wonder if my bra caused that original kiloid to form from rubbing against it? Looks like I have a medical reason for not wearing a bra. Just don't ask why I carry one in my purse.

Did anyone else get kiloids? Thanks.

I have in the past had keloid scars develop - I had them up the back of each heel (from having posterior heel spurs removed) although 25 years on they have flattened out and are not really noticeable anymore - but they were the classic red/purple, really raised scars. I would have said for years that I was a person who suffered keloid scars. I also had an awful one on my shoulder from having a mole removed, but its hardly visible now 10 years on, so perhaps they were never keloids to begin with.

Yet my caesar incision is all but invisible 3 years on and my lap band scars are really doing great, so who knows. But that silicone stuff you put on scars to flatten them out really works miracles with keloids, I've seen it oa couple of friends, one who had breast reduction surgery. Not that I get round looking at my girlfriends' boobies very often, but she did offer to show me because she was so amazed with the results. You honestly can hardly see she had an operation.

Its expensive but perhaps worth a try? And yes, the rubbing will cause a more visible scar.
