Condition Overview
Keloid scars are overgrowth of a scar after minor skin damage, trauma or surgery. They look like raised pink skin and can sometimes extend beyond the scar itself.
- Keloids are raised scars caused by an overproduction of collagen during the healing process, often growing beyond the original wound.
- They may cause discomfort, itching, or tenderness, especially as they grow.
- Individuals with darker skin are more prone to developing keloids, particularly on the chest, shoulders, or earlobes.
- Treatment options include steroid injections, laser therapy, cryotherapy, or surgical removal, but recurrence is common.
