A keloid is an overgrowth of scar tissue at the site of a skin wound. The new tissue is elevated, rounded, and firm, with irregular and claw-like margins. Keloids occur most often in heavily pigmented people and tend to get progressively worse.

If you have visited your doctor about your scar, he/she may have used the terms "hypertrophic" (enlarged) or "keloid" (tender dense and/or red) to describe or clinically classify your scar condition. Both hypertrophic and keloid scars are thick, raised and generally discolored.

BIOSKINCARE™ has shown to flatten, soften, smooth and dramatically improve the discoloration noted with these types of aggressive scars.
