We go to great lengths to hide unattractive scars and sometimes we feel embarrassed when someone notices them despite our best efforts. Even though it is not something to be ashamed of, keloids are bad looking scars that come in different shapes and sizes and sometimes occur as a result of an injury. Nobody is immune to keloids and given the fact that they can even increase in size, it is worth going the extra mile to get rid of them once and for all.

What causes keloids?

This is one of the many mysteries that modern medicine is yet to solve, as we don’t know for sure which is the main cause for keloids. Subtle changes at cellular level can be one of them as well as skin damage which is widely regarded as the main reason for why keloids appear in the first place. Those who have suffered from acne, cuts and burns, as well as surgery, insect bites, tattoos and vaccinations are very likely to have these unattractive marks on their skin.

On other cases though, the causes are uncertain and many patients claim that keloids have appeared spontaneously on their skin without an obvious reason. Their severity also varies greatly, from those that look more like minor scratches to some that would suggest a serious injury. It is impossible to miss the symptoms of keloids, as they are itchy, unappealing skin that sometimes takes the appearance of scars and can appear all over the body. Even though this is not a life-threatening condition and the pain is nonexistent or negligible, there are plenty of reasons to get rid of keloids using homemade remedies.
