Chest Keloid |

|
Keloids can be considered to be "scars that don't know when to stop."
A keloid, sometimes referred to as a keloid scar, is a tough heaped-up scar that rises quite abruptly above the rest of the skin. It usually has a smooth top and a pink or purple color. Keloids are irregularly shaped and tend to enlarge progressively. Unlike scars, keloids do not subside over time. These may itch and be painful, and some keloids can grow to be quite large. |

Keloids are overgrowths of fibrous tissue or scars that can occur after an injury to the skin. In individuals prone to keloids, even minor traumas to the skin, such as ear piercing, can cause keloids. Keloids can occur anywhere on the body, but they are most common on the earlobes, upper back, shoulders, and chest.
Keloids should not be confused with hypertrophic scars, which are raised scars that do not grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound.
Keloids are equally common in women and men, although at least in times past more women developed them because of a greater degree of earlobe and body piercing among women. Keloids are less common in children and the elderly. |
