Keloids appear a few time after the original surgery or wound, hardly subside with time, produce out of the limits of the original injury, (a slight wound can create a big keloid), are independent of skin motion (such as earlobe keloids), hardly happen across joints and might develop much worse after surgery without concomitant steps to avoid reappearance.
The occurrence of keloid scarring growths in blacker skinned persons but not ever blacker skinned people gets them. In spite of that my keloid affected persons are mostly Afro-American followed by Asians and then those of non-European Hispanic ancestry. I have only had some Caucasian patients with these issues. Keloids have not been reported in albino’s of any competition, suggesting a possible character of skin pigment in this kind of scarring.
There is an increased occurrence of keloid creation running in relatives so it is inherited to a few degree. Keloid scarring does not follow the similar pattern of development, steadying, and involution of the normal or hypertrophic scar. It may grow straight after a starting event or a few years later, arising from a mature scar. Earlobe keloids generally occur months are years after the early ear piercing. Keloids also can occur spontaneously. Practically all keloids that are cut out will reappearance if steroids and pressure are not applied after surgery. In certain cases radiation may be used instead of pressure.
Symptoms:
There are some of keloids symptoms are mention below.
A keloid may be:
- Located over the site of a wound or injury
- Irritated from friction such as rubbing on clothing
- Flesh-colored, red, or pink
- Tender and itchy
- Lumpy (nodular) or ridged
A keloid will tan blacker than the skin around it if exposed to sun through the first year after it forms. The blacker color cannot go away.
Causes:
These are some keloids causes are mention.
Keloids might form after skin wounds from:
- Burns
- Chickenpox
- Minor scratches
- Acne
- Ear piercing
- Cuts from surgery or trauma
- Vaccination sites
The issue is more mutual in folks ages ten to twenty, and in African Americans, Hispanics and Asians. Keloids frequently run in relatives.
Treatment:
Often Keloids treatment does not necessity. If the keloid troubles you, the following things might be done to decrease the size:
- Freezing (cryotherapy)
- Radiation
- Silicone gel or patches
- Corticosteroid injections
- Laser treatments
- Surgical removal
Many of these treatments can reason a bigger keloid scar to form.
