Keloid Scar Treatment

When the skin is injured, fibrous tissue known as scar tissue forms over the wound to aid in healing and protect the damaged area. In some cases, excess scar tissue develops, creating smooth, firm growths called keloids.

Keloid scars form as part of the body’s natural response to injury, but they can grow larger than the original wound. They commonly appear on the shoulders, chest, cheeks, and ears.

Symptoms of Keloids

Keloid scars can present with the following symptoms:

• A localized area that may be flesh-colored, pink, or red
• A raised, lumpy, or ridged patch of skin
• An area that gradually grows larger with excess scar tissue
• An itchy sensation over the affected skin

While keloids are usually harmless, they can become a cosmetic concern, especially if they grow large or are located in visible areas like the earlobes or face, potentially causing self-consciousness.
