What is a Keloid?

Keloid is a type of raised scar that forms when the skin heals excessively after an injury, such as a cut, burn, or piercing. Unlike regular scars, keloids grow beyond the original wound, creating a raised, firm, and often shiny mass.

They can be red, pink, or darker than the surrounding skin and may cause itching or discomfort. Commonly appearing on the chest, shoulders, and earlobes, keloids are typically harmless but can impact one’s appearance.

Causes of Keloids

Many factors contribute to keloid formation in individuals, and certain triggers may increase the likelihood of developing these scars:
