About Keloids
They say that a scar is your body’s way of telling you it’s healing, but sometimes a scar can present problems of its own. Keloids are a natural and non-dangerous growth on the skin that can cause consistent itching or throbbing pain. Keloids most often develop on the face, shoulders, and chest and can cause social discomfort. African Americans are also eight times more likely to develop keloids than caucasians. Some people may experience diminished functioning of the eyes, nose, mouth, or nose due to the development of scar tissue.
Symptoms of keloid scarring might include:
- Thick, irregular scarring, typically on the earlobes, cheeks, shoulders, or on the chest.
- Shiny, hairless, lumpy, raised skin.
- Varied size and texture (from soft to firm and rubbery).
- Reddish, brown or purplish, depending on your complexion.
- Itchiness and discomfort.

Living with keloids can be difficult and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, using standard plastic surgery techniques to remove a keloid can result in them growing back and reforming into an even larger growth.

Regardless of how they were caused (such as by injury to the skin or even a burn), our medical practice will work with you to find the treatment that works best for you.
A specialized treatment plan for keloids may include:
- Surgery
- Cryosurgery
- Laser treatment
- Radiation treatments
- Ligature
- Pressure earring, dressing, or garment
- Silicone gel sheets
