Medical Conditions - Keloid

Keloid is otherwise known as a keloidal scar. Keloids are formed as thick outgrowths along with the scar tissue in the site of a healed wound. Keloids cause itchiness and pain during growth. Acne scars, burns, scratches, and surgical incision sites can have keloid growths. Corticosteroid shots, cryotherapy, and laser therapy help to remove keloids.
