Kelloid Wound Healing Research Paper
Keloid is additional tissue on a scar that grow extensively beyond the original boundaries of the wound. They can sometimes double, triple, or even quadruple the size of the wound that was there to begin with. Keloids do not cause danger to health, except if they are growing continuously, than the doctor would have to take a sample of the scar tissue to further study. They are more of a cosmetic problem, especially when they are located on visible body parts like the face , nose, or ear. Individuals with this condition should abstain from unnecessary body piercing, surgical procedures, be really careful of getting wounded because all of these are risk factors of getting a Keloid. If an individual decides to have his or her Keloid removed, they

For healing to occur there have to be fours processes active to see through that the process is met. Hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling have to happen at a specific way following each other in a time sequence. These are the factors that might prevent the proper process of wound healing oxygenation, infection, age and sex hormones, stress, diabetes, obesity, medications, alcoholism, smoking, and nutrition. Studies have been done and are still being done on how to improve and prevent these factors from interfering with the normal healing process. The best way scientists have discovered is to use therapeutics to help promote the healing process in these conditions. I work as a CAN as a behavioral unit, which mostly consist of senior with behavior difficulties as well as a medical condition. Most of these patients are bed and wheelchair bound, so prevent pressure sore or ulcers, wounds is a hung part of my job as well. Some of the things we do to prevent these wounds are applying skin protectant ointment on the bottom every time they get changed, making sure all soiled brief and clothing are removed from them every two hours, repositioning every two hour, and transferring from their bed to wheelchair and to the couch to prevent pressure. I believe other healthcare settings use the same or perhaps slightly different approach on preventing the cost of trying to heal a
