Keloid Treatment in Hyderabad

• Hypertrophic keloids: These are among the most frequently seen. They appear raised and firm but remain within the limits of the original wound. Their colour may range from pink to deep red, depending on skin tone and the age of the scar.
• Earlobe keloids: Common after ear piercings or small injuries to the ear, these scars can grow steadily and sometimes become rounded or firm if not treated early.
• Sternal keloids: These often show up in the middle of the chest. Many people develop them after a surgical cut, a burn, or even acne in that area. Because the skin over the chest is constantly moving and under natural tension, scars here tend to grow thicker than expected.
• Shoulder and deltoid keloids: Keloids on the shoulder or upper arm usually start after small injuries, injections or a surgical stitch. They may begin as a small bump but can slowly spread over time, especially in people who are prone to this kind of scarring.
• Nuchal keloids: These form along the back of the neck. They are commonly linked to repeated irritation, such as friction from collars, acne flare-ups, or tiny cuts from shaving or hair trimming. Over time, the area can become raised and firm if not treated.

• Nodular keloids: These look like firm, rounded lumps. Some grow actively, while older ones may soften or show a flatter centre as they age.
• Superficial spreading keloids: Often called “butterfly” keloids, these spread sideways across the skin. The edges may be raised while the centre appears flatter or healed.
• Papular keloids: These are smaller, raised bumps that can appear singly or in clusters, usually following acne or small skin injuries.
• Pedunculated keloids: A less common pattern where the scar grows outward on a narrow base, giving it a stalk-like or mushroom-like appearance.

Hypertrophic scars are a little more controlled. They stay within the original wound but can still feel tight or firm. Once a doctor knows which one you have, choosing the right treatment becomes much easier.
