Keloids
Understanding Keloids
Keloids are raised, overgrown scars that develop at the site of a wound or injury. Unlike normal scars, which gradually fade over time, keloids can grow larger than the original wound and extend beyond its borders. While keloids are generally harmless, they can be unsightly and may cause itching, tenderness, or discomfort for some individuals.
Causes of Keloids
The exact cause of keloids is not fully understood, but several factors are believed to contribute to their development:
Genetics: Genetic predisposition plays a significant role in keloid formation, with individuals of African, Asian, or Hispanic descent being more prone to developing keloids.
Wound Healing Process: Keloids occur when the body’s healing process goes into overdrive, leading to excessive collagen production and tissue growth at the site of the injury.
Trauma or Injury: Keloids can develop in response to various types of skin trauma or injury, including surgical incisions, burns, piercings, tattoos, acne scars, or even minor cuts and scratches.
Hormonal Factors: Hormonal changes, such as those experienced during puberty, pregnancy, or hormonal therapy, can influence keloid formation.
