Firm protuberant scar that extends beyond the boundary of the injury. Keloids can be itchy or painful and often occur in certain locations (chest & shoulders) and racial groups (black, asian, etc).
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is clinical and usually not difficult.
Pathology
Altered wound healing and collagen synthesis.
Principles of Therapy
May be difficult as keloids tend to recur. Occlusive dressing, intralesional steroids and pulsed dye laser are treatment options.
