Keloid Symptoms

Keloids come from the overgrowth of scar tissue. Keloid scars tend to be larger than the original wound itself.

They may take weeks or months to develop fully.

The symptoms of a keloid can include:

• a localized area that is flesh-colored, pink, or red
• 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.

Keloid scarring can form on large areas of your body, but this is generally rare. When it happens, the hardened, tight scar tissue may restrict movement.

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 on an earlobe or the face.
