Keloid – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/2057714006
A keloid is a progressively enlarging scar resulting from formation of excessive amounts of collagen in the dermis during connective tissue repair following inflammation, injury or surgery. It differs from a hypertrophic scar in that a keloid expands beyond the boundaries of the initial wound or site of inflammation.
