What is a Keloid scar?

A keloid scar is a kind of raised scar that stays on your skin even after a cut, burn, or acne has healed. You can’t make it go away completely, but there are treatments that can make it look better. Keloid scars usually show up a few weeks to years after your skin gets hurt or injured.

How is a Keloid scar treated?

They are removed surgically under local anaesthetic. The anaesthetic is used to numb the area around the cyst before it’s cut out. You’ll have a small scar around the widest length of the scar.
