Have you all of a sudden developed a form of scarring that you never experienced before? Or may be it only happened once? Or worst case do all your scars tend to have an aggressive healing process? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions you may be wondering. Is keloid scarring permanent?
What is keloid scarring?
Keloid scars are raised lumps of scar tissue which was left by past acne, cut or an injury. However keloid scars create larger scars as an overly aggressive healing response to the original wound.
Is keloid scarring permanent?
In most cases, scars tend to grow smaller and fade over time. But in some cases, the skin can overreact to the damage and lead to scars that are much larger than the original wound. And can even grow beyond the original wound.
Keloid scars, which are typically thick and irregular, rarely go away on their own. They can be challenging to treat, which is why it’s important to focus on preventing keloids from forming in the first place. Often they grow for month and even years, also may change colour and get a bit darker.
Unfortunately even after treatment, keloid scars may grow back again, which means their treatment is difficult and they may be permanent.
