Sounds : Sounds like you tend to get hypertrophic scars or keloids. This particular scar, though, may have developed a cyst or boil in the same general area? Perhaps you need an antibiotic? I would recommend you consider seeing a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment and to rule out other possibilities. I hope that helps.
