Two weeks ago I got a bad spot on my forehead, I popped it (stupid I know)but now it's left a small bump. I don't know if it's a keloid or not because I have never had one before. I'm really paranoid about it because I usually have very good skin and my forehead has no fat and so it's more noticeable than it would be on my chin or cheek which is deeper tissue. I know that skin can really act up in pregnancy due to hormones so I don't really know what to do. I am exfoliating it every few days, using lemon juice twice a day and keeping it clean. My husband thanks it's going very slowly but I don't think it's changed at all except for the initial swelling going down.
I've never had a keloid before and apparently I shouldn't be prone to them as I am incredibly pale with drier skin. So the pregnancy is the only thing I can think of.
Anyone have any experience of this in pregnancy or keloids in general? I know I should go to a dermatologist but I'm in N.I. and the initial appt is very expensive. Plus they won't do anything while I'm pregnant.
