What Can Cause Scar Tissue Turn Into A Ball Like Neuromas?
I have scar tissue along the jawline close to my ear. My body tends to turn scar tissue into ball like neuromas. I ve had two removed previously. One along the bra line and one on the Bottom of my foot. The one on my neck was the size of a pea but has just recently gotten bigger and started hurting. Last year I went to a dermatologist who suggested I have a plastic surgeon remove it as it is close to facial nerves. What kind of plastic surgeon should I be looking for and should I be worried now that the growth is bigger and sore?

Hi,
Yes. since the scar tissue is growing, painful and near to facial nerve, better to get it removed. You can meet any plastic surgeon for its management.
The growth is due to body response against the injury.
Hope this information helps you.
