A member asked:
Would scar tissue cause a lot of pain & a solid lump on incision ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It can: When scar tissue forms you often get a lump which gradually gets smaller and softer over time. Some people get keloids where the scar tissue can get very large.

Keloid?: A hypertrophic scar might be tender but not usually painful, so have it checked to make sure there is no infection.
