What Causes Ear Keloids?

A keloid is a scar caused by an excessive and continued production cartilage during or after healing. Keloid scars go beyond the borders of the original wound. This type of scarring occurs in approximately 10% of the population. Although keloids are not malignant, they can be very difficult to treat due to their high recurrence rate.

It is common to find ear keloids as a result of infection from ear piercing. Depending on your specific case, keloids can be treated using corticosteroids and laser therapy, but they may also require surgical excision and skin grafting for optimal results.
