What Are the Treatments for Keloids in Ears?
A keloid is a buildup of scar tissue that develops to protect a wound. In the case of keloids in the ear, or auricular keloids, a person most often has pierced his or her ear and scar tissue grows as the body’s attempt to repair the wound. While keloids can take on several different appearances, for the most part, the keloid resembles a large, round, red or flesh-colored ball on the earlobe.
