Keloid
Keloid is a non-infectious and non-transmissible autoimmune skin condition that can be both baffling and persistent.
What is Keloid?
When a skin injury occurs, fibrous scar tissue is formed over the wound. This helps in wound repair by providing protection for the injury. In some cases, the scar tissue grows excessively and results in the formation of a smooth and hard growth. These growths are called keloids, which can be larger than the original wound. Keloids are commonly found on the chest, shoulders, earlobes, and cheeks, but they can affect any part of the body. Though not harmful to the patient's health, it creates cosmetic and aesthetic concerns.
Symptoms of Keloid
The symptoms occur at the site of the injury, and some of them include:
- The injured area turns either flesh-coloured, pink, or red.
- The affected skin turns lumpy.
- Thickened skin at the site of injury.
- This area continues to grow larger with scar tissue.
- Itchy
- Might experience discomfort, tenderness, or irritation from clothes or other substances through friction.
- In rare cases, restriction of movement in the affected area.
