What causes a keloid scar?

Although keloid scars are easily to diagnose, there is no clear understanding of why one person’s body forms keloid scarring vs. an individual who does not.  What is common knowledge is that this predisposition to keloids is genetic and usually more common in dark-skinned individuals than those that are light-skinned.

What is a keloid scar?

A keloid scar is a type of scar that is most commonly found in darker-skinned people but may be seen in all skin types.  It appears as a fibrous, dense scar tissue that usually extends far beyond the borders of the initial injury or area of trauma.  Keloids may be pink, red, brown and come in many shapes and sizes.  What sets keloids apart from other scars (ex: hypertrophic) is that the size of the scar is out of proportion to the initial injury.  Although challenging, keloids may be treated with lasers for good improvement.
