keloid scar

Etymology: Gk, kelis, spot + eidos, form + eschara, scab

an overgrowth of tissue in a scar at the site of skin injury, particularly a wound or a surgical incision. The amount of tissue growth is in excess of that necessary to repair the wound and is partially caused by an accumulation of collagen at the site. Also called keloidal scar.
