I'm dealing with a 4 cm keloid on my chest and I'm really into working out. I'm worried if doing chest exercises or anything in the gym could actually make my keloid grow bigger, especially if it gets stretched. Could exercising be a problem for the scar's size?

I'm dealing with a psoriasis issue that I've had for about 15 years now, and it flares up only during the winter. I've never tried any medication because it usually disappears when summer comes around. It's a flaky kind of psoriasis. Could you please recommend any new treatments or medications that I should consider?
