Keloids
Keloid scars are large, raised scars that spread beyond the size of an original wound. Sometimes it is clear what causes a keloid (earrings, acne, a cut or scrape), but they may arise without any known trauma to the skin.

Treatment For Keloids
Current treatments for Keloids (these are often used in combination for best results):
- Surgical treatment is not always the best option, as keloids can recur and become even larger after surgery.
- Vascular laser treatments are sometimes helpful for red, hypertrophic scars, a type of scar somewhat similar to keloids. Injecting keloids with steroid can soften them and relieve itching.
