Heal and Restore Your Skin’s Balance with
Anew’s Keloid Treatment in Bangalore
Scars are a result of your body’s natural healing process. Usually, when our skin gets injured, the body repairs itself by forming protective scar tissue. But there are cases when this process doesn’t tend to stop when it should. Instead of stopping once the wound has closed, the skin keeps producing more tissue, which builds up into raised, smooth, and often firm growths known as keloids.
Unlike regular scars, keloids don’t stay small and flat. They may extend far beyond the original wound and continue growing over time. People often notice them on the chest, shoulders, jawline, or earlobes, especially after an ear piercing or acne breakout. While they don’t pose any risk to physical health, their appearance can cause discomfort, itching, or emotional distress. At Anew Skin & Aesthetic Clinic in Bangalore, we know how deeply skin concerns can influence everyday life. Our keloid treatments are designed with compassion and science, helping you achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin. And how do we do that?
- With a single doctor focused approach offering personalised care and attention for all treatments.
- Use of advanced FDA approved technology and safe treatment methods.
- Guidance from consultation to aftercare for best long-term results.
What Causes Keloid?
The causes of keloids are often linked to how the body reacts during the healing process. While a minor wound may heal normally for some, in others it can lead to an overgrowth of scar tissue. Several factors are known to increase this likelihood.
What are the Different Types of Keloid Scars?
Nodular Keloids
Nodular keloids are round, solid lumps that can be a few millimeters or even several centimeters wide. They feel hard to touch and usually appear as single or multiple raised scars on areas like the chest, shoulders, or earlobes.
Papular Keloids
These are the earliest forms of keloids. They look like small, raised bumps on the skin that may start off firm but tiny. If left untreated, they can grow larger over time.
Tumoral Keloids
Thick, bulky scars that grow far beyond the original wound. They look like skin masses or swellings and may continue enlarging for months or years.
Chest Keloids
The middle of the chest is one of the most common spots for keloids. Even tiny injuries, acne spots, or chickenpox scars can lead to noticeable scars in this area.
Shoulder Keloids
A high-risk area for keloids because they are always moving and stretching. Cuts, burns, acne scars, or surgical stitches in this area often trigger keloid growth
Abdominal Stomach Keloids
These usually form after surgical procedures such as a C-section, gallbladder surgery, or appendix removal which can grow thicker and wider than the incision itself.
What are the Signs and Symptoms of Keloids?
Unlike normal scars, keloids don’t stop once the skin has healed and that is the reason they stand out. These are scars which continue to grow and transform in ways that make them noticeable or uncomfortable. Keloids may not be dangerous, but their symptoms can affect appearance as well as comfort, and that is when people choose to go for keloid treatment in Bangalore. The signs and symptoms to look for are :
Raised, Overgrown Scar
Keloids are thicker and higher than normal scars. They are not restricted within the wound’s edges; instead, they grow beyond them, often becoming much larger than the original cut or injury.
Change in Color
They may look red, pink, purple, or darker than the surrounding skin. In some cases, the color becomes less intense over time, but the scar remains raised.
Firm or Rubbery Texture
Most keloids feel harder or firmer than normal skin. Some may have a smooth, shiny surface that looks stretched.
Itching and Irritation
Growing keloids often itch, feel tight, or cause irritation. For some people, this itching can be persistent and uncomfortable.
Pain or Tenderness
Certain keloids can feel painful or sore, especially when pressed or when they rub against clothing, jewelry, or straps.
Slow but Continuous Growth
Unlike regular scars that fade with time, keloids may continue to expand slowly for months or even years after the original wound has healed.
