Keloid scars are a pathological growth of fibrous and connective tissue, which manifests itself as an aesthetic defect on the skin and other unpleasant symptoms. A keloid scar consists of immature connective tissue and large atypical fibroblasts. And although the rumen usually has few capillaries, the circulatory system can feed such a formation, which leads to its enlargement.
Along with hypertrophic scars, keloid scars (or keloids) belong to the group of pathological scars.
The presence of keloid scars on the body is a contraindication to the procedure of permanent makeup and microblading.
A keloid scar appears 1-3 months after injury and can continue to grow for up to 2 years. Then his condition stabilizes, and he does not change throughout his life.
Keloid scars are more persistent than hypertrophic scars and are difficult to treat. They are clearly defined, rise above the skin, their surface is smooth, shiny, elastic in consistency, and painful on palpation.
