Keloid Scars

Keloid scars are a form of raised scar that can occur at the site of a trauma or injury. These scars are defined by their elevated, thick, and frequently reddish or purplish look. A keloid scar can be significantly more noticeable and noticeable in size than the original incision. They persist past the site of the initial injury and rarely improve with time.
- Overproduction of collagen during the healing process is assumed to be the root cause of keloids, but this is only a theory. Keloids can form after any kind of injury, from cuts to incisions to acne scars to burns to piercings. They seem to run in families and are more prevalent among people of color.
Despite their lack of danger to health, keloid scars can be visually annoying and even painful, itchy, or uncomfortable in some people. Injections of corticosteroid, laser treatment, silicone gel sheets, cryotherapy, and surgical removal are all viable techniques for dealing with keloids. Managing keloid scars effectively requires an accurate diagnosis from a healthcare provider or dermatologist, as well as a discussion of available treatment options.
