My name is fidelis, am from enugu, nigeria. I was punctured by a rusty nail on my right heel when I was younger. It's been over 15 years now and the scar is elevated, hard, itchy and hurts when pressed. I think I took a tetanus shot then, it's been long. But am worried, it may get worse one day. I want advice on what to do and what I will say if I should go to hospital.

You seem to have a keloid at the scar site and it needs plastic surgery if you want to be removed . No connection with the injection TT
