Although keloid is a very common condition; there are no statistics as to its true incidence and prevalence, neither in United States, nor elsewhere in the world. This trial intends to capture epidemiological data about this disease in a large population sample.
The purpose of current trial is to establish a robust database of incidence and prevalence of keloid, as well as prevalence of familial keloid, in various ethnic groups. Study sample size is 100,000 random individuals who will fill out either a web survery or a paper questionnaire.
