A member asked:
I have been getting ingrown hairs in my underarms, and when the hair is out, it turns into a keloid. how do i prevent and remove the keloids?

I absolutely would: see a dermatologist, as it sounds like you may have a condition called Hidradentitis. There are treatments available but early diagnosis and treatment is imperative.
