Keloid Scars Removal

A keloid scar is a raised scar that develops after a skin injury. This type of scar grows larger than the original wound, possibly due to dysfunction in your natural wound-healing processes. Typically, a skin injury triggers your body to send more blood and collagen to the area to support healing. When you produce too much collagen, a keloid scar can form. The scar isn’t harmful to your health but may negatively affect how you feel about your skin’s appearance. Keloid scars may run in your family. The condition is more common in people with black or brown skin, especially those between 20-30 years old. Orlando Dermatology Center specializes in keloid scar removal.
