Abstract
Keloid is a common, benign, dermal fibroproliferative growth of unknown aetiology. Lesions tend to grow over time; they often recur following therapy and do not regress spontaneously. Keloid causes considerable discomfort due to pain, pruritus and inflammation, and a
significant psychosocial impact with reduced quality of life. Many treatment
modalities, such as intralesional steroid injection, silicone gel application, cryotherapy, lasers, 5-fluorouracil and photodynamic therapy, are currently being used in clinical practice for the management of keloid.
