[Skin concerns] Keloid steroid injection, is this normal?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi Reddit, this is my first post so I’m sorry if I have not posted in the correct subreddit or if I make any mistakes.I had a few keloid scars on my forearm from self-harming. They formed earlier this year and I instantly regretted doing it. If I could go back I would not have dealt with how I was feeling in this way. Anyway, I did some research and found something called a steroid injection which could reduce the appearance of the keloid scar. I found a clinic that was offering to inject them for a decent price so I booked an appointment. I had my first keloid injection on 05/06/20 and my next one on 03/07/20. The first time round the area around the keloids was bruised but it subsided. However, with the second injection while the bruising disappeared after a few weeks, the area around the scar is really red and looks sore. It’s been almost two months since my last steroid injection and in a way I feel like it looks worse now than it did before.I have messaged the clinic and they have told me that apparently the Doctor has said that the keloid can be active again because of the injection hence why it is red but I feel like that’s not true and this is an excuse as the keloids are now flat, it’s just the area around the scars which have turned red not the actual keloid scars themselves. I have cancelled my next appointment with the clinic because I’m scared they’ll want to inject it again and it will become even worse. Is this a normal side effect of steroid injections and will the redness go down? Or have I had some kind of reaction and is there nothing that can be done?I have attached a few images of the keloid scar but please note that it does look worse in real life than in the pictures. I would really appreciate any help/advice because I cannot speak to anyone in real life about this as I have told nobody about my self-harm.Thank you so much and I'm sorry if this is the wrong subreddit please let me know which subreddit would be best for this sort of question​https://preview.redd.it/6raxoro3pjj51.png?width=1125&format=png&auto=webp&s=454e0dcef329255c2755eab58b3457eca99c83fehttps://preview.redd.it/9zkso1p3pjj51.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80d9bf1bb262e7abc6421ab13fa77b71d30e89ca
