Keloids are a common skin condition in darker-skinned individuals, characterized by raised, thickened, and often darkly pigmented scars that extend beyond the original injury site. They can occur after trauma, surgery, or even minor skin irritation, and are more prevalent in individuals with a genetic predisposition to overproduce collagen during the healing process. Treatment options include corticosteroid injections, silicone gel sheets, cryotherapy, laser therapy, and in some cases, surgical removal, though keloids may recur even after treatment.
