Something bothering my upper chest area

Hello, for a while now there has been a pimple-like thing on the upper center of my chest and it makes wearing clothes or anything that comes into contact with it very uncomfortable. I am not able to wear V-neck or Polo style shirts because of this and it effects my life everyday. I am not sure even what it is but it bothers me so much now that I am just sick of it. Any and all help will be appreciated thank you again for your time.

A Keloid-  Potent steroid cremes, Silicone gel, intra- lesional steroids, Lasers all have a place in treatment. Do consult your doc.

Surely the Keloid would reduce in size but then it may be difficult to get rid of it in toto.
Cheers.

thank you for the response, with proper treatment will the keloid be removed forever? I just want to be able to live a normal life without it.
