How do you know if you have a keloid? what is a common sign?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definition: By definition, a keloid is a scar that out grows the boundaries of the original injury. It is frequently elevated, hard, and may itch. A hypertrophic scar or spread scar is usually flat and frequently not elevated.
