Scars that occur on our body, no matter where they are, if they leave marks on our beautiful skin, it would not be good. And even worse, if the skin becomes a large, raised scar, it may make us lose confidence in wearing beautiful and handsome clothes, just because we have to cover up the keloid scars.
Keloid scars are caused by an over-reaction of the skin’s repair process, whereby too much tissue and collagen is produced, leading to an imbalance of collagen and the formation of raised scars. The exact cause of this over-reaction of the skin’s repair process is still unknown.
