Hello, my son has keloid on his shoulder. That annoys him, and it does look a bit ugly. Anyway, he wants to remove it and I would like to know what his options are. No one in our family had this condition and I would like to know Why do keloids appear? I mean, did it get from any of us?
Keloids are skin tumors, which occur because of the increased activity of certain cells in the skin – fibroblasts. These cells can be found in the area of some injury, they repair damaged tissue. And keloids appear when the new tissue is bigger than the previous one, before the injury. It can be treated with a simple procedure, so you don’t have to worry and he did not get it from his parents.
