Keloid is mainly composed of collagen and causes a type of scar on the skin which is slightly pink in colour. Keloids look like fibrous nodules or rubbery lesions and are firm. Actually, it is due to the overgrown granulation tissue after a skin injury is healed and eventually, is replaced by collagen. The most common areas which are affected by keloids are chest, arms, neck and ear lobes. The scar is generally harmless but sometimes, it can make your skin feel pain and itching.
Causes: keloid is basically associated with skin injuries and therefore, can be caused by following factors:
- Acne
