Keloid, also known as keloid disorder and keloidal scar,[1] is the formation of a type of scar which, depending on its maturity, is composed mainly of either type III (early) or type I (late) collagen. It is a result of an overgrowth of granulation tissue (collagen type 3) at the site of a healed skin injury which is then slowly replaced by collagen type 1. Keloids are firm, rubbery lesions or shiny, fibrous nodules, and can vary from pink to the color of the person's skin or red to dark brown in color. A keloid scar is benign and not contagious, but sometimes accompanied by severe itchiness, pain,[2] and changes in texture. In severe cases, it can affect movement of skin. In the United States keloid scars are seen 15 times more frequently in people of sub-Saharan African descent than in people of European descent. Worldwide, men and women of African, Asian, or Hispanic descent can develop these raised scars. Some people, however, have a higher tendency to develop a keloid when they scar: such as those with a family history of keloids and people between the ages of 10 and 30 years.

Keloids should not be confused with hypertrophic scars, which are raised scars that do not grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound.

I HATE MY KELOIDS SO MUCH. it caused me to limit myself and i missed a lot of opportunities due to this. (sorry for the quick rant, i just feel like i’m not alone for having these because of u guys)

I got keloids all over my chest after my trip to Africa. I wasn’t wearing a shirt a lot of time because it was hot AF especially with the humidity. I got mosquito bites. Months later I noticed large dark bumps forming on my chest. After 8 years of continuous steroid injection treatment all my scars went down. Now I’m using scar gel to make the keloids less visible. Just be consistent and patient. The keloids will go away

When u get any new keloid, u keep ice on that area and if u have wound on any place you clean that place with water then keep ice on that place to compress so it will not grow big in future .(cleaning is must ).
