Keloid Scar treatment in Coatzacoalcos

A keloid scar is an excessive growth of scar tissue that extends beyond the edges of an original wound. Unlike a common scar, it protrudes, may keep growing, and does not go away on its own.

Common symptoms: A raised, firm area, pink or darker than the surrounding skin, that at times causes itching, tenderness, or discomfort.

Common causes: It usually forms after wounds, surgeries, piercings, or acne, and some people are more prone to developing it.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist and the plastic surgeon are the professionals who evaluate keloids and provide guidance on the available options. If a scar grows, bothers you, or worries you because of its appearance, discussing it with one of them makes it possible to weigh the options suited to your case.
