Keloids
Sometimes a small wound heals in an unexpected way. Instead of fading quietly, the scar begins to grow thicker and larger than the original injury. This raised scar is called a keloid.
Keloids occur when the skin produces too much collagen during healing. They may develop after acne, piercings, cuts, surgery, or even minor skin injuries. Over time, the scar becomes firm, raised, and sometimes itchy or uncomfortable.
Keloids are more common in melanin-rich skin, where the skin’s healing response tends to produce stronger collagen activity. This makes people with darker skin tones more prone to raised scars.
