Rollerblading along the road
Leia has always had a scar on the top of her head. From the time I got her, it was there. In the beginning, it was just a little hairless patch. Most of it healed, leaving about a third of the original scar there. When she was about six months, she hit her head and tore it open a little, and when it healed it became a huge bump.
Both vets that have looked at it agree it's a keloid scar. It's been biopsied, it's not cancerous and it is just scar tissue. What the two vets don't agree on is whether it needs action. The first vet (not our regular) who looked at it thinks we should just leave it. Our regular vet is worried that if it grows any bigger and does become a problem, she won't be able to remove it without causing a lot more damage.
What would you do?
I've attached a picture that is pretty clear, but it is more raised than it appears in this picture. It stands a good half inch off the top of her head.
