These scars are very large, red, hard and itchy.
The changes over time allows us to distinguish between a keloid scar and a hypertrophic scar :
- A keloid scar, which has no tendency to spontaneous improvement and remains stable or even worse with time.
- A hypertrophic scar, which improves spontaneously in 2 or 3 years.
These facial keloid scars are most common among black and Asian. They appear in the original injury,on the face.

        The far greater problem in a keloid is of course the disfiguring appearance. Those affected suffer greatly. Often there is a mental illness as a result of keloids. A removal of keloids is difficult and problematic. It often happens after the initial surgical removal a recurrence of the keloid that can be a even stronger formation of keloids. This reaction is triggered by a stimulus which is generated by the removal of the initial keloid.
