Keloid on an earlobe following an ear piercing. Keloid scars are common on the upper trunk of young women. A keloid is an enlarged scar that grows beyond its original boundaries. It can itch,cause pain or be tender to the touch. Keloids consist of a mass of collagen,a tough fibrous protein,that forms as a result of a defective healing process. After a period of time most keloids flatten and cease to itch. Treatment,if required,is usually by re-excision and radiotherapy | |
