What is "keloids"

Usage examples of "keloids".

Ryan had once come across a crude book that dealt with the range of disorders that ravaged scabbies dermoid cysts, rodent ulcers, keloids, lipomata, epitheliomata, acne, psoriasis and all manner of unnamed rashes.

He’d heard that phrase through those damned speakers before, and he knew they meant either the keloids or the growths that covered the faces of many people.

They were hopeful, joyful faces, in spite of the scars and keloids that marred many, in spite of the protruding cheekbones and sunken eyes that spoke of long hunger, in spite of the pallid skin that had not felt the sun in seven years.

But what could be seen was very lovely and the workers, with the burnt patches on their faces and necks, skin cancer scars and keloids, exacted a great pleasure from looking at her unmarred beauty.

The skin had stretched and filled with muscle over the years, but the unpigmented keloids would remain till the grave.

Prominent keloids dotted his face, and sweat cascaded from his every pore.
