- Abstract:
The article discusses a 2019 finding that keloid formation may be due to a genetically-based switch normalization failure in the remodeling stage of wound healing. Topics covered included the normal process of wound healing, and the characterization of keloidal wound healing as uncontrolled and persistent proliferation of scar tissue. Also noted are the contributive factors of age, the area's size and tension, lesion depth, and family history in keloid formation.
