Acne keloid - what does this mean

Acne keloid is caused by an overgrowth of scar tissue in response to an acne lesion. this overgrowth of scar tissue produces a raised, red or purple bump that is larger than the original lesion and can be itchy or painful.

What happens during the disease - acne keloid

Acne keloid is a skin condition in which the body's natural healing process is disrupted, resulting in an overproduction of collagen and the formation of thick, raised scars. it is believed to be caused by an abnormal response to inflammation, which leads to the formation of an excess of fibrous tissue in the affected area. this can be triggered by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, genetics, skin trauma, and exposure to certain medications.
