I've had a keloid problem for the last 3 years and now I have big keloid marks like thick lines on my hand. I'm thinking about plastic surgery but I'm scared because what if the stitches from the surgery also turn into keloids? Will that happen?

I'm currently taking Zempred 4mg during the weekends, two tablets each on Saturday and Sunday for a total of one month, which adds up to 16 tablets. I've been diagnosed with lichen planus pigmentosus. I'm wondering if it's okay to stop taking these tablets after the one month is up? Is it generally safe to continue with this dosage for just a month?
