Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Keloid scars are characterized by the growth of scar tissue beyond the boundary of the original injury into normal tissue. Hypertrophic scars are raised and thick, but they do not extend beyond the original wound boundary. Proliferative scars refer to scars that grow rapidly but do not necessarily extend beyond the original wound. Inhibitory scars are scars that stop growing at some point, and a granuloma is a type of inflammation characterized by a collection of immune cells.
