Keloid scars occur when the scar tissue grows bigger than the area of the wound. They can be raised and deep. Sometimes they can get overgrown enough that a plastic surgeon would need to reduce or remove them because they restrict movement of the surrounding skin. Nobody really knows why they form on some people and not on others.
