Keloids

Click to dance with me!Click to dance with me!




Occasionally scars enlarge spontaneously to form firm, smooth, hard growths called keloids that may be uncomfortable or itchy, and may grow much larger than the original wound.

If there is excessive tension on a healing wound, the healing area can thicken more than usual.

This is known as a hypertrophic scar.
