Keloids
Keloids appear as raised scars usually found where the skin has healed post an injury and can grow bigger than the injury itself. Any cause of a scar can be a cause of a keloid too such as burns, cuts, severe acne. They also appear due to body piercing, a tattoo, or surgery. They remain and grow for a long period of time.
Keloids usually:
- Appear and grow slowly
- Look like a raised pink, red, or purple scar.
- They can be painful, tender, or cause itching.
- They can appear on any part of the body.
Keloids can be caused due to the following:
Cuts
Puncture Wounds
Surgical Scars
Severe Acne
Chickenpox
Insect Bites
Injection Sites
Piercings
Tattoos
Blacks, Latinos, and Asians are more prone to keloids. Pregnancy can aggravate keloid formation too. So do genetic predispositions.
