MAINTAIN YOUR SELF CONFIDENCE, PREVENT AND TACKLE KELOIDS

When the skin is injured, fibrous tissue, called scar tissue, forms over the wound to repair and protect the injury. In some cases, scar tissue grows excessively, forming smooth, hard growths called keloids. Keloids can be much larger than the original wound. They’re most commonly found on the chest, shoulders, earlobes, back of the head and cheeks. However, keloids can affect any part of the body. Although keloids aren’t harmful to your health, they may create cosmetic concerns.

WHAT CAUSES KELOIDS ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD?

Keloid develops from a scar of injured skin. The scar tissue is made up of fibrous tissue and collagen. Keloid forms when there is uncontrolled overgrowth of fibrous tissue. Not everyone who has skin injury will get keloid, but some people are more prone to develop keloid than others.
The exact reason is still not understood. However, there is genetic predisposition for developing keloid. It means if anyone in your family has keloid, you may be susceptible to develop keloid after a skin injury. Men and women are equally affected. People from Asian and African origin are more likely to get keloids. Keloid is not common in children and aged individuals.
Keloid on back of the head occurs due to many reasons. It can occur from a healed scar left behind after some surgical work on the back of head. It may also appear from the scar of healed abscess. The skin on the back of the head may get injured sometime while cutting hair. Cuts and scrapes in such cases can cause keloid.

WHAT SYMPTOMS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH KELOIDS?

Keloids occur from the overgrowth of scar tissue. Symptoms occur at a site of previous skin injury symptoms of keloids can include:
• a localized area that is flesh-colour-pink, or red in colour
• a lumpy or ridged area of skin that’s usually raised
• an area that continues to grow larger with scar tissue over time
• an itchy patch of skin

While keloid scars may be itchy, they’re usually not harmful to your health. You may experience discomfort, tenderness, or possible irritation from your clothing or other forms of friction. In rare instances, you may experience keloid scarring on a significant amount of your body. When this occurs, the hardened, tight scar tissue may restrict your movements.
Keloids are often more of a cosmetic concern than a health one. You may feel self-conscious if the keloid is very large or in a highly visible location, such as an earlobe or on the face. Sun exposure or tanning may discolor the scar tissue, making it slightly darker than your surrounding skin. This can make the keloid stand out even more than it already does. Keep the scar covered when you’re in the sun to prevent discoloration.

WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION

Keloids typically don’t require medical attention, but you may want to contact your doctor if growth continues, you develop additional symptoms, or you want to have the keloids surgically removed..There are herbal and alternative remedies that can be employed, as this article will show.
Keloids are benign, but uncontrolled growth may be a sign of skin cancer. After diagnosing keloid scarring by visual exam, your doctor may want to perform a biopsy to rule out other conditions. This involves taking a small sample of tissue from the scarred area and analyzing it for cancerous cells.
Keloids are one of the most difficult skin irritations to tackle, but face with this condition, herbal suppliments can come to your rescue. So what are some of those herbal extracts that can help you clear or prevent keloids keloids ?
