What can excessive amounts of collagen produce?

  1. Keloids

  2. Smoother skin

  3. Reduced sensitivity to touch

  4. Increased flexibility

The correct answer is: Keloids

Excessive amounts of collagen can overproduce and create a type of scar known as a keloid, making the skin raised, thick, and discolored. This can happen as a result of injury, surgery, or even a small cut and can be very difficult to get rid of. The other options listed, B, C, and D, do not typically result from excessive collagen production. In fact, increased amounts of collagen may improve the skin's texture and elasticity, but it can also decrease sensitivity and flexibility. Therefore, keloids are the only correct answer in this scenario.
