What is a Keloid?

A keloid is an overgrowth of scar tissue that develops at the site of a skin injury, such as cuts, burns, surgical incisions, or acne. Unlike regular scars, keloids extend beyond the original wound and may appear raised, thick, and firm.

Causes of Keloid Formation

  • Skin Injury – Cuts, burns, surgical wounds, or acne scars.
  • Genetic Predisposition – Some individuals are more prone to keloids.
  • Inflammation During Healing – Excessive collagen production leads to raised scars.
  • Infections – Infected wounds may increase the risk of keloid formation.
  • Hormonal Factors – Certain hormonal changes may influence scar formation.
  • Piercings or Tattoos – Can trigger keloid development in susceptible individuals.
  • Delayed Healing – Poor wound care can exacerbate abnormal scar formation.

Keloids result from abnormal scar tissue overgrowth after skin injury. At MediSkin Hair Clinic, Pune, Dr. Shridevi Lakhe (MBBS, Dip. Dermatology) offers tailored treatments to reduce keloid size, relieve discomfort, and improve skin appearance.
