Keloid Scarring — A Classical Reading of the Constitutional Tissue Response
Keloid scars are raised, often itchy or painful fibrous overgrowths that extend beyond the boundaries of the original wound, reflecting a constitutional tissue over-response rather than a normal healing process. They are disproportionately common in darker skin types and carry substantial functional and psychosocial impact. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang (Traditional Chinese Medicine) supports patients with established or high-risk keloid formation alongside dermatology and surgical management.
