Keloids are raised scars that can occur after an injury to the skin. They are caused by an overgrowth of scar tissue. Keloids can be unsightly and can cause pain, itching, and tightness. There is no cure for keloids, but there are a number of things that can be done to prevent them from forming or to reduce their size and appearance.
One of the most important things that you can do to avoid keloids is to keep the wound clean and moist. This will help to prevent the formation of scar tissue. You should also avoid scratching or picking at the wound, as this can further irritate the skin and make it more likely to develop a keloid.
