Does anyone have any knowledge on keloids? |
My daughter has two keloids, one on her earlobe (it looks like a little egg), and the other was caused by a fall that scarred her knee. Keloids :- A fibrous growth almost like a tumor usually occuring at the site of a scar . Actually, keloids happen because the person has a very good immune system...it "overproduces" tissue over the injury. I had mine treated with removal and injection of a corticosteroid (forget the specific name of the med). Below is a website from Wikipedia with a lot of good information on the problem. Good luck with it. |
