Hello and welcome to HCM,
Keloids are known for their recurrence.
despite several modes of treatments, they tend to recur.
However, pus and blood discharge from keloids is not normal.
Pus discharge from keloid suggests presence of infection.
Blood discharge can be due to infection or injury.
You need to consult your treating doctor for clinical examination and treatment.
In case there is evidence of infection, topical antibiotic can be used to control the infection.
Thanks and take care
