keloid - overgrowth of scar tissue
Definition for keloid
A keloid is a special type of scar which results in an overgrowth of tissue at the site of a healed skin injury.
more
A keloid is a special type of scar which results in an overgrowth of tissue at the site of a healed skin injury. Keloids are firm, rubbery lesions or shiny, fibrous nodules and can vary from pink to flesh-colored or red to dark brown in color. A keloid scar is benign, noncontagious and usually accompanied by severe itchiness, sharp pains and changes in texture. In severe cases, it can affect movement of skin. For some, keloids are a cosmetic problem, although it can still be very upsetting, especially for younger patients. Keloids should not be confused with Hypertrophic scars, which are raised scars that do not grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound and may reduce over time.
