Keloids are raised overgrowths of scar tissue that occur at the site of a skin injury. Common places to develop keloid scars are your chest, back and jawline.

Individuals with dark skin and family history of keloid scars are more prone to developing keloid scars.

Prevention is very important. For instance, these individuals should seek medical treatment to treat their acne. Treatment for keloid scars is more challenging.

If your keloid scars are itchy or tender or continues to grow, it is best to consult a dermatologist.
