Keloid
I was watching TV one evening when something strange caught my eye. I was flipping through channels to watch and there was one show that seemed particularly interesting to me. It was called "The Doctors". In this, many people come with various problems and we get to see what these people are going through and what is exactly wrong with them. There was one man that had Keloid. This was unfamiliar to me so I started researching it. Keloid is when an area of your body forms an overgrowth of scar tissue. You are able to get this when you have any type of scars that are healing on your body. It can vary from acne scars all the way to chickenpox scars. Treatment for this isn't going to be as serious because you only need it when it's really bad. You can be given various things from corticosteroid injections to laser treatments. This may not seem terrible the way it sounds but when you look at people who have the worst case scenario part, you can see how challenging it can be to live with this. Just like anything in life, it only takes one thing to turn your life around and keloid can be one of them.
