Keloid
- What it is
Keloid is an elevated scar which grows exuberantly and relentlessly, extending beyond the boundaries of the wound. Not only is it unsightly, it can be itchy and painful – essentially a major nuisance. Keloids are more likely to occur in people with a family history of keloid scarring, and have a tendency to develop over certain sites viz earlobes, chest, shoulders and upper back.
