A keloid is a type of abnormal scar that develops due to excessive collagen production during wound healing.
Unlike normal scars, keloids:

Extend beyond the original injury
Continue growing over time
May become thick and firm
Often recur after treatment if not managed appropriately

Keloids can develop on any part of the body but are more common in certain areas.

Keloids may vary in size, shape, and color. Common features include:

Raised Appearance

The scar becomes elevated above the surrounding skin.

Growth Beyond the Original Wound

A hallmark feature of keloids.

Firm Texture

The scar may feel thick and rubbery.

Itching or Tenderness

Some keloids cause discomfort or irritation.

Keloid vs Hypertrophic Scar

Many people confuse keloids with hypertrophic scars.

Unlike normal scars, keloids may continue enlarging long after the original wound has healed.
Some keloids remain stable, while others gradually increase in size over months or years.
This is why early evaluation is often beneficial.
