Do keloids peel when skin is dry or wet?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not necessarilly: Some keloid skin will not have the normal oil glands within it that lubricate our skin so it is possible that the keloid can appear drier than "normal" skin.

Yes: Keloids have an epidermal covering that sloughs the the same way as other areas.
