That needs to be drained

First you have to settle down the infection by antibiotics and drainage and then do laser and intra lesional therapy

If keloid is on hairy area,there is tendenct fir hair root infection. This is more so in patient s having immunologicaly compromised state,diabetis,friction al area
Pus anywhere has to be drained,keloid or no keloid.,under antibiotics cover. Once pus is drained and infection settled,keloid must be treated asap
