ABSTRACT
Keloids are benign dermal tumors that generally form by local fibroblast proliferation and excessive collagen production following skin trauma. They cause mayor physical, psycological and cosmetic problems. From epidemiological viewpoint, darker pigmented races are more susceptible to keloid formation.
Understanding the exact process of normal and abnormal scar formation will help define better ways to successfully manage and potentially prevent abnormal healing.
Numerous treatment modalities have been used to treat keloids and hypertrophic scars.
This extracellular matrix collagen accumulation makes a logical target for pharmacological interventions, and researchers are attempting to modify collagen synthetic and degradative pathways.
Hypertrophic scars and keloids have been shown to respond to radiation, pressure therapy, cryotherapy, intralesional injections of corticosteroid, topical silicone or other dressings and pulsed dye laser |
