A member asked:
Had a scrape on my shoulder and it got sunburned when the scab was coming off, now it's raised up and pink. is it a scar, what should i do?

Yes, it is a scar: This sounds like a type of scar called a keloid. Do you normally form large scars? The good news is that there is nothing wrong with the scar per se - it just over produced the tissue that makes scars. If it is distressing to you, you can see a dermatologist for treatment options.
