The Keloid Academy was founded in 2023 by Lamont R. Jones, MD, MBA, to empower people living with keloids and to support new and ongoing research about the condition. Despite the advancements in medical knowledge and technology, keloids are still a challenging condition to treat. We understand the transformative change of a united community, and we’re working to build that community by connecting patients with up-to-date information and knowledgeable medical providers. We strive to achieve this through a five-step plan that includes:
- Increasing education and awareness
- Encouraging research and development
- Promoting evidence-based treatment and care
- Creating a community of belonging and
- Supporting advocacy and policy development
