some people are more prone to poor wound healing or keloids which are raised firm scars that can often be itchy and may even be disfiguring. keloids are more common in african-americans but can occur in all skin types. if you are prone to keloids you should let your doctor know and think very carefully before having any body piercings or elective surgery.
are certain skin types (ethnicity) more likely to scar or have bad reactions to treatments like peels and laser?
