Suggest Treatment For Keloid On The Neck And Chest Area

I ve had a a keloid on the neck and chest since my open heart surgery 8 years ago. Had it surgically removed only to have it return larger. I have been simply dealing with it in order not to make things worse. Yesterday out of no where a swelling started under the keloid which is now causing unbearable pain. Is there anything I can do for relief ? I am literally suffering at this point . Any pain relief would be appreciated. Feel like going to the hospital Thank You
