A keloid scar is a type of scar which, depending on its maturity, is composed mainly of either type III (early) or type I (late) collagen.
It is a result of an overgrowth of granulation tissue (collagen type 3) at the site of a healed skin injury which is then slowly replaced by collagen type 1. Keloids are firm, rubbery lesions or shiny, fibrous nodules, and can vary from pink to flesh-coloured or red to dark brown in colour. A keloid scar is benign and not contagious but sometimes accompanied by severe itchiness, painand changes in texture. In severe cases it can affect movement of skin.
Laser treatment is a proven method of reducing the redness of keloid scarring.
