Keloid, also known as keloid disorder and keloidal scar, is the formation of a type of scar which, depending on its maturity, is composed mainly of either type III (early) or type I (late) collagen. It is a result of an overgrowth of granulation tissue (collagen type 3) at the site of a healed skin injury which is then slowly replaced by collagen type 1. Keloids are firm, rubbery lesions or shiny, fibrous nodules, and can vary from pink to the color of the patient’s flesh or red to dark brown in color. A keloid scar is benign and not contagious, but sometimes accompanied by severe itchiness, pain, and changes in texture. In severe cases, it can affect movement of skin. Keloid scars are seen 15 times more frequently in people of African descent than in people of European descent.
Histologically, keloid tissue has been shown to contain an overabundance of Type-I and Type-III dermal collagen and multiple fibroblast proteins suggesting the dysregulation of cellular wound healing.8 Physiologically, wound healing in adult tissue can be categorized into 3 stages: inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. 2 At the onset of wounding, there is an activation of complement and clotting cascade that begins the framework for tissue repair.
