What are keloid scars?
When the body produces high amount of collagen and growth factors, the body creates keloid scars, appearing as permanent thickened skin elevations. Keloids expand past the regular scar borders after a wound heals because the healing process overproduces collagen. Keloids possess a smooth texture and shine with pink, red, or darker hues than standard surrounding skin. Keloids often result in various symptoms like skin sensitivity together with discomfort, which includes an itching sensation, tenderness, and occasional pain experience.
Types of keloid scars
You should consult your doctor for a keloid scar if:
The Harley Street Skin Clinic offers several Treatment options for keloids, including corticosteroid injections, cryotherapy, laser therapy, surgical excision, and silicone gel sheeting. A skin biopsy may be needed if there is diagnostic uncertainty.
To know what treatment is best for you, Book an appointment here.
The following skin conditions can contribute to the development of keloid scars:
Keloids surpass the original wound size and become notable deformations, which become most apparent on the areas that are exposed, such as the face and neck, as well as the chest. These marks have distinct colours, which include red, dark brown, or purplish distinctions from normal skin tone.
Keloids typically produce itching and irritation that occurs primarily while they expand in size. They often generate discomfort, which intensifies during touch or elongation of the affected area. Reasons for discomfort include joint-restricted movement when large keloids develop close to joints such as the elbows and shoulders.
Treatment by surgical removal or medical therapies of keloids often results in their previous size. The regrowth of keloids following treatments becomes problematic due to their challenging management in the long run.
Steroid injections, surgery, or cryotherapy treatments may lead to infections if not done properly or if aftercare methods are poor.
Keloids that are noticeable through the skin surface or grow to large sizes at times cause extreme embarrassment in adolescents and young people because they develop feelings of self-doubt and acquire depressive symptoms as well. They also choose avoidance of social circumstances or particular clothing due to their visible scarring.

Mild soap and water should be used to clean cuts as well as scrapes and surgical incisions. Wound cleanliness helps decrease infection chances, which then limits both inflammation levels and the likelihood of keloid development.
Apply moisture to the wound area while keeping it covered
Apply antibiotic ointment or petroleum on your wounds, followed by a non-sticky bandage. The healing time becomes shorter while scarring decreases when wounds stay moist.
Healing time after a surgical procedure or burns becomes shorter, and keloids lower in frequency when patients use compression methods to reduce scars. These types of treatments are commonly used for patients at high risk of developing keloids.
Apply silicone sheets or gel
Silicone gel sheeting have been reported to be successful in treating keloid scars. Wearing them maintains wound moisture and controls collagen production, which reduces keloid development. Patients should apply the treatment regularly during a period of two to three months after the injury.
People who are prone to keloids should avoid all unnecessary body modifications that damage the skin, like piercings and tattoos.
People who develop keloids should consider this category of activities dangerous. The keloid response develops after any form of minor skin damage.
Do not pick scabs or acne
People with keloid tendencies should avoid scratching, squeezing, or picking scabs or acne because it can lead to mild inflammation and develop excessive scar formation or keloids.
Doctors perform steroid injections within the healing wound procedure to stop keloid formation. The use of these treatments limits the formation of collagen while decreasing the degree of inflammation.
Early laser cryotherapy treatment
The medical intervention, including radiation therapy, has the potential to treat new scars by reducing their tissue overgrowth. The application of cryotherapy precedes the freezing of potential abnormal scar tissue at its initial development stages.
Both UV rays and sunlight cause darkening of scars, with keloids becoming more noticeable to view. The application of sunscreen with SPF 30+ should cover all healing skin.
Know your risk factors
Keloid formations occur more frequently among individuals with darker complexions and people belonging to keloid-prone families. Being aware of the situation enables prompt medical intervention, such as keloid treatment, which results in superior wound treatment strategies.
