Understanding Keloid Scars and Their Unique Challenges
What Are Keloid Scars?
Keloid scars are raised, and firm areas of fibrous tissue are formed, resulting from excess collagen production during the healing process. They often extend beyond the original wound and can cause itching, discomfort, or restricted movement.
What Causes Keloid Scars?
While keloid scars can affect anyone, certain factors increase the likelihood of their development, including:
- Genetics, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones
- Skin trauma, such as cuts, burns, or piercings
- Repeated irritation or injury to a wound site
What Are the Goals of Keloid Scar Treatment?
Our primary objectives include:
- Flattening the scar and enhancing the skin’s texture
- Relieving discomfort or irritation caused by the scar
- Reducing the risk of further growth or recurrence
