Visual Diagnosis of Keloid Scar on Lower Abdomen

This image shows a red, raised linear scar on the lower abdomen — a typical presentation during the diagnosis of keloid scars. Keloids are diagnosed visually based on their appearance, size, and texture, often extending beyond the original injury site. Dermatologists may conduct a physical examination and assess patient history of scarring. This photo provides a clinical reference for recognising keloid scarring, supporting educational material focused on identifying abnormal wound healing.
