Body Keloids

This man developed keloids or extreme hypertrophic raised scars possibly from some infection on his chest hairs or some injury like a burn.  This is highly unusual in a Caucasian.  Nevertheless, there are treatments for this which he will need to seek out.

Doctors who perform hair transplants must be aware of the keloid or hypertrophic tendencies of their patients as this would be a terrible complication on the scalp from a hair transplant impacting either the donor or recipient area.  A small series of test grafts in an area where it can’t be seen, might give the patient and the surgeon comfort that a hair transplant will not produce such scars on a large scale if there is a history of such scarring.
