Keloid & Hypertrophic Scars
Raised, thickened scars from an injury, piercing, or acne: treatable and, in many cases, preventable.
About the Condition
Keloids grow beyond the original wound; hypertrophic scars stay within it but are still raised and thick. We evaluate which type you have, since treatment differs.
Good to know: if you're prone to keloids, tell your provider before any procedure (including piercings). Preventive treatment can reduce your risk.
