Keloid Scars
Keloid scar on a patient’s chest
Any injury or trauma to the skin will cause a scar and, for most people, the scar will initially appear red and raised, but as it heals it usually become flat and pale. A keloid scar doesn't follow the same pattern and will remain red and raised and 'grow' beyond the original wound due to an overproduction of collagen.
More common in those with darker skin, keloid scars can be very itchy and can also cause distress due to their appearance. There are a number of different treatments that can improve keloid scarring, although it is not possible to remove them completely.
The most common way of treating keloid scars is with injection of medical products such as steroids. However, laser treatments, with either a Pulse Dye Laser or Fractional Laser, may offer additional benefits. Dr Tapan has had many years' experience in treating scars in patients of all skin types.
