Among the many different types of keloids that occur on the body, keloids on the chest are usually formed as a result of an inflammatory pimple or a hair follicle. With time, the inflamed pore can lead to a thick keloid scar that progressively and larges with time.



Keloids on the chest are locally aggressive and can develop into large scars that grow beyond the original footprint of injury. Chest keloids are often associated with pain, itching, burning, and unpredictable growth. The treatment of keloids on the chest is unlike different than other scars and must incorporate an anti-inflammatory protocol to achieve success.
