Keloid
Flatten, Fade, and Control Excessive Scar Growth
What is a Keloid?
A keloid is a raised, thick, and often shiny scar that forms due to excessive collagen production during the skin's healing process. Unlike regular scars, keloids grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound and do not regress naturally. They may be itchy, painful, or cause cosmetic concerns, and commonly appear on the chest, shoulders, back, earlobes, and jawline.
