Keloids are benign fibroproliferative growth seen on the skin usually secondary to trauma. They are scar tissues that project above the skin surface and may be tender or pruritic. They cause functional and aesthetic discomfort to the patient. This is a case report of a 34 year old woman who was diagnosed as a case of keloid of the left auricle and treated surgically. Keloids have a high degree of recurrence even after treatment. It is crucial to differentiate keloids from hypertrophic scars and treat them accordingly.
