Keloid scar. Close-up of a keloid scar on the arm of a 44-year-old male patient. A keloid is a type of scar that is composed mainly of collagen. It is a result of an overgrowth of granulation tissue (collagen type 3) at the site of a healed skin injury,which is then slowly replaced by collagen type 1. Keloids are firm,rubbery lesions or shiny,fibrous nodules,and can vary from pink to flesh-coloured or red to dark brown in colour | |
