Keloid and hypertrophic scars

Keloid and hypertrophic scars happen when the scar tissue reddens and thickens, becoming larger than the initial wound. There are very rare cases of scars that can take ugly shapes. The way the wound scars is completely dependent on the way the body reacts. Some people can develop this kind of scarring even from a simple bug bite.

In most people, there are certain regions of the body where the scarring process takes a hypertrophic shape: on the lateral side of the arm and the shoulder, on the sternum, on the earlobe.

Depending on each case, the scar can be corrected surgically. To help the healing process, it is strongly recommended that the patient wears a silicone pads on the wound for a few weeks, Most of the time, the results are very satisfactory.
