About Keloids
Keloids can be caused by trauma inflicted on the body; some examples including:
- A surgical incision
- Ear piercing
- Receiving a tattoo
- Injury
While it can be hard to remember how you may have developed a keloid, the sight of a keloid can be difficult to forget. Keloids develop when the body ceases to create new tissue during the healing process. Typically raised from the skin and reddish in color, keloids can cause numerous complications such as itching, stinging, or burning. If large enough, a keloid can inhibit movement and effect your daily performance. If a keloid is bothering you, schedule your consultation with us and ask about keloid removal.
