Unlike normal scars, keloids extend beyond the original wound margins and may continue to enlarge over time. They are non-cancerous but can cause itching, pain, and cosmetic concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Causes of Keloid<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keloids develop due to excessive collagen production during the wound-healing process.
