Breaks in the skin, whether from injury or incision, heal better in some people than others. The remaining scars are the result of imperfect healing, apparently due to less than optimal blood flow, and consequently an inadequate supply of oxygen and nutrients, to the injured area. If a scar overgrows into a large, rounded, raised pinkish mass, this is known as a keloid. Sometimes keloid form in areas affected by acne; sometimes they form for no apparent reason at all. People of African ancestry are more likely to develop keloids than those of other ethnic backgrounds. The upper back, shoulders, and chest are the most common sites.
Keloids resulting from cuts and incisions are more common than ones resulting from acne. The latter are more likely to form with deep acne that forms abscesses chronically draining pus. If this happens on the scalp or the back of the neck, permanent hair loss can result in the affected area.
General Recommendation
Applying vitamin E oil to the scar, then coating it with a light film of dimenthylsulfoxide (DMSO), may help shrink the mass from the outside. DMSO helps draw the vitamin E deeper into the skin. Use a 99.9% pure, 50% concentration solution. Clean the skin with plain soap before this treatment.
Prevention
It may not be possible to prevent keloids. However, if you know you are prone to developing them, you should avoid elective surgery and anything else that might lead to a break in the skin.
