What to do if you have a hard lump in your wound 10 months after minimally invasive surgery

Hard lumps in the wound 10 months after minimally invasive surgery may be keloid or keloid hyperplasia, which need to be treated with medication, physical therapy, surgery and other measures.
1. Drug treatment: patients can use intra-keloid injection of glucocorticosteroids such as trimethoprim under doctor’s guidance, and 5-fluorouracil and other drugs, which can make the keloid scar thinner and inhibit its growth.
2. Physical therapy: For early and micro-sized keloids or hyperplasia, you can consider choosing silicone preparations, as well as using pressure bandages for compression therapy. In addition, photodynamic therapy, light therapy, and fractional laser therapy can also be used.
3. Surgery: For larger keloids or hyperplasia, surgical excision, flap transfer and other surgical treatments should be considered if necessary.
It is recommended that patients with hard wounds 10 months after minimally invasive surgery should go to the hospital in time, cooperate with the doctor for active treatment, and strengthen local skin management.
