Kelp is a type of large, brown seaweed that grows in long, thin strands. It is commonly found in cold waters and is a major component of many marine ecosystems. In addition to its role in the marine environment, kelp has also been used as a food source for humans, with its leaves being used as a vegetable and its stipes (the hollow stalks that hold the leaves) being used as a flavoring agent in soups and other dishes. Kelp is also a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including iodine, which is important for maintaining healthy thyroid function.
Keloidal refers to an abnormal, raised, and elevated formation of scar tissue that can occur as a result of skin trauma or injury.

Keloids can occur anywhere on the body, but they are most common on the chest, back, shoulders, and earlobes. They can also be caused by surgery, piercings, burns, or vaccinations. Keloids are different from scars in that they do not follow the normal path of healing and can continue to grow and thicken over time, often becoming raised and dome-shaped.
