Skin Treatment: Understanding Keloid Scars
Overview
Scars can be a concern for many of us. They form as a result of injuries, inflammation, or wounds. While some scars fade over time, others, like keloids, can be more persistent.
What Are Keloid Scars?
Keloids are raised scars that occur when too much collagen is produced at the site of a skin injury. Not everyone develops keloids, but for those who do, they can be a source of embarrassment and discomfort.
When the skin is injured, the body responds by sending white blood cells and other defense mechanisms to heal the wound. For most people, this healing process leaves a slight indent. However, in some cases, excessive collagen is produced, resulting in a hard, raised mass known as a keloid.
Challenges and Treatments
Treating keloids can be challenging. Attempts to surgically remove them often lead to new keloid formation. However, several treatment options are available:
- Steroid Injections: These can help shrink keloids over time.
- Laser Treatment: This involves cutting the keloid with a laser and applying steroid injections to prevent regrowth.
- Silicone Gels and Sheets: These are also utilized to manage keloids.
For those prone to keloids, it is essential to avoid potential skin injuries and seek medical advice if keloids do form.
