Vertical keloids tend to be prominent in a vertical direction and look bulbous. These scars usually have distinct borders and a defined shape. There may be limited areas of central quiescence (the centre of the scar is flatter). These keloids may be painful or pruritic (itchy) and can continue to spread over many years.
