Skin Growths and Pigment Disorders

Most skin growths are harmless but need to be monitored for any changes that might indicate abnormal cell division. This forum is the place to talk about non-cancerous skin growths (dermatofibromas, dermoid cyst, freckles, keloids, keratoacanthomas, lipomas, moles, seborrheic keratoses, skin tags) and pigment disorders (albinism, vitiligo, melasma, pigment loss after skin damage).

Are these facial keloids?

Answered by a doctor

I have a 47 year old health care worker in Tanzania whose face is covered with excrescences which my nurse has suggested may be keloids secondary to working in sterilizing 10 years ago when the condition began. I like her thinking and would like some confirmation.
