What does KELOID mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A raised, thick scar that grows beyond the edges of the original wound.
A keloid forms when the skin keeps producing scar tissue after a cut, burn, piercing or surgery has healed. Unlike an ordinary scar, it spreads past the wound and may itch or ache. Keloids are more common in people with darker skin, and doctors treat them with injections, pressure dressings or surgery.
