Why are keloids itchy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretching of skin: Itching in a keloid can be due to excessive stretching of the skin , especially when the keloid is growing and also due to the rubbing of a large keloid against clothing . it helps to keep the skin moist to prevent scabbing . It is also important to keep the injured skin clean.
