Expert Keloid Scar Treatment in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles
What is Keloid Scarring?
Keloid scarring is a type of scar overgrowth that extends beyond the boundaries of the original wound. People often confuse keloids with hypertrophic scars. Indeed, both keloid scars and hypertrophic scars are a type of scar overgrowth. However, hypertrophic scars are raised scars that do not grow beyond the original wound's boundaries.
Keloids are firm, rubbery lesions. Keloids can vary in color, from pink to the color of the patient's skin. A keloid scar is not contagious but sometimes causes severe itchiness or pain. Keloid scars are most common in people of sub-Saharan African descent.
