Hypertrophic Scars & Keloid

Keloids are overgrown scars formed out of surgical incisions, lacerations and burns. Keloids can also form due to inflammation caused by ear piercing, tattoos, pimples, ingrown hairs or even minor mechanical trauma like the rubbing of skin or bumping into an object. They are seen most commonly on the face, chest, back, and earlobes .For reasons not known, people with dark skin tend to be more prone to keloids and in some cases it is an inherited tendency. And in many cases it re-occurs after treatment.



Keloids are raised and look shiny and dome-shaped, ranging in color from pink to red. Some keloids become quite large and unsightly. Aside from causing potential cosmetic problems, these exuberant scars tend to be itchy, tender, or even painful to the touch.

At Skin Mantraa, we can treat keloids and hypertrophic scars through topical gels, intralesional injections ,laser and light devices according to the extent and location of keloid.
