Keloid

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01

A keloid is a progressively enlarging scar resulting from formation of excessive amounts of collagen in the dermis during connective tissue repair following inflammation, injury or surgery. It differs from a hypertrophic scar in that a keloid expands beyond the boundaries of the initial wound or site of inflammation.
