skin injury is keloid. It often extends beyond

may be affected, which can make one to feel psychologically. The
area of keloid may be darker than the skin around, when it is more
exposed to sun.

minor scratches, surgical cuts, traumatic wounds, vaccination sites,
etc. It may develop in some people who are genetically prone to
get it.
