What Causes Keloids To Grow?

A keloid scar is an excessive growth of scar tissue that appears following a surgical procedure, piercing, or injury to the skin. While keloid scars can affect everyone, they are most frequently observed in those with darker skin tones. Although keloid scars are not dangerous, they can become bothersome, painful, or gradually expand, leading to cosmetic concerns.

Available Treatment Options

A common treatment for keloid scars is steroid injections, used to reduce inflammation and decrease the scar’s size. Multiple sessions of injections are usually required to achieve the best results. If the keloid does not respond to corticosteroids, other medications may be administered as well. While keloids can be surgically removed, they often reoccur afterward since they result from trauma to the skin. Your dermatologist might prescribe a series of steroid injections in the afflicted area to help keep this from happening.
