A keloid is a type of raised scar that forms when the body produces too much collagen in response to a wound or injury. Keloids can be red, pink, or flesh-colored and may be larger than the original wound.
Anyone can develop a keloid, but they are more common in people with darker skin tones and those who have a family history of keloids.
The exact cause of keloids is not known, but they often form in response to skin injuries, such as cuts, burns, or surgical incisions.
A dermatologist can diagnose a keloid based on a physical exam and a discussion of your medical history.
There are several treatment options available for keloids, including steroid injections, laser therapy, cryotherapy, and surgical removal. However, keloids may recur even after treatment.
Keloids cannot always be prevented, but there are steps you can take to minimize your risk of developing them. These include avoiding unnecessary skin trauma, keeping wounds clean and covered, and avoiding piercings or tattoos in areas prone to keloid formation.
