Keloids – Simple Home Remedies To Get Rid Of It
In this world of constant movement, accidents often happen and surgery has become a norm. It takes weeks to recover from these surgeries.
Our body undergoes a lot through these times. Along with the part of the body on which the surgery is performed, one common organ that goes through the most is our skin.
Our skin takes time to heal from the surgery. Sometimes, the surgery scar does not heal properly and may form a thick bump with tissues growing out of the healing area. These outgrown fibrous tissues are called Keloids.
Keloids are firm, rubbery and smooth to touch. Although they are painless, some keloids may give a slight pain when touched. They are usually made up of a fibre called collagen.
They
form
when
the
collagen
outgrows
in
the
area
of
the
wound.
Although
keloids

common
on

area

they
