Protruding scar: Keloid? Hypertrophic scar? 🤷♀️
After falling or surgery,
did a protruding scar remain?
They look similar but are completely different.
Let us tell you the difference between keloids and hypertrophic scars!
➡️What is a hypertrophic scar?
-Does not extend beyond the wound area
-Occurs shortly after trauma
-Genetic factors are not significant
-Rarely recurs after treatment
-Gradually disappears over time
➡️What is a keloid?
-A scar that grows beyond the original wound area
-Causes pain and itching
-Occurs due to genetic or congenital constitution
-High risk of recurrence after treatment
-Increases in size over time
They may look similar on the surface,
but because the symptoms are completely different,
the treatment methods also differ~
