Skin cancer?

Shoulder lumps don’t know what they are

My doctor tells me that these are keloids but they keep popping up and won’t go away. Anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Not sure if I should leave this alone or not...

    Darwin, were you evaluated by a plastic surgeon?

    Don’t waste your time with a primary doctor or a dermatologist- make an appt with the true experts on skin cancer which happens to be a plastic surgeon. I would NEVER have skin cancer surgically removed by anyone else. Why, you ask? Because the other docs are not adequately and extensively trained to remove skin cancer- particularly melanoma-without unintentionally spreading the disease. With melanoma, that could mean life or death.
