Keloids form due to abnormal over healing of a wound. It is difficult to decide if this condition should be placed under “Medical dermatology” or “Cosmetic dermatology” given that most patients seek treatment for this due to itching, pain and growth of this condition more so than its aesthetic concern. Hence, it has been placed under “Laser dermatology” as one of the most effective treatments has been the Pulsed dye laser. However, the treatment outcome can still be said to be unpredictable as recurrence rates are high.
Treatments available in the clinic include:
Topical
Injection
Pulsed dye laser
