Keloid & Hypertrophic Scar Treatment : Effective Solutions for Raised & Thickened Scars

Keloids and hypertrophic scars can cause both cosmetic concern and discomfort. Whether from acne, surgery, injury, or piercings, these thick, raised scars often grow beyond the original wound and are difficult to treat without professional care.

At our advanced skin clinic in Sri Ganganagar, we offer customized and clinically proven treatments for keloid removal and hypertrophic scar reduction.

Keloid Scars

Keloid scars are a type of abnormal scar that develop when the healing process goes beyond normal tissue repair. They are more than just a cosmetic concern—they can also cause discomfort and grow progressively over time. Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Thick, Raised, and Extend Beyond the Original Wound
    Keloids tend to grow aggressively, expanding well beyond the boundary of the initial injury and affecting the surrounding healthy skin.
  2. May Feel Itchy or Painful
    These scars are not just visibly prominent—they can also cause itching, tenderness, or a burning sensation, especially as they grow.
  3. Continue to Grow Over Time
    Unlike regular scars that stabilize, keloids may continue enlarging over months or even years if left untreated.
  4. Commonly Found on Chest, Shoulders, Ears, and Jawline
    These body areas are particularly prone to keloid formation, especially among individuals with darker skin tones or a family history of keloids.

Hypertrophic Scars

Hypertrophic scars are raised scars that develop as part of the body’s natural healing response to skin injury. While they may appear prominent initially, they typically improve with time and care. Key characteristics include:

  1. Raised but Confined to the Wound Area
    Unlike keloids, hypertrophic scars remain limited to the original site of injury and do not spread into surrounding skin.
  2. May Reduce in Size Over Time
    These scars often flatten, fade, and become less noticeable with proper treatment and as the skin naturally remodels.
  3. Appear Red or Pink, Often with Tightness or Discomfort
    In the early stages, they may feel firm or tight and appear reddish or pink, but these symptoms usually lessen over time.
  4. Common After Burns, Cuts, or Surgery
    Hypertrophic scars frequently develop after surgical incisions, accidental injuries, or burn wounds, especially when healing is delayed or under tension.

Causes of Keloids & Hypertrophic Scars

  • Surgical incisions or stitches
  • Acne or severe skin injuries
  • Ear or body piercings
  • Cuts, burns, or trauma
  • Genetic predisposition (more common in darker skin tones)
