Background:
Several treatments are available to treat the keloid scar. Keloids have the tendency to recur after surgical removal and new treatments for keloid scars include radiotherapy, cryotherapy or compressive therapy. Topical treatments have been also used to treat this pathology, such as injections or medical device applications.
Case Report:
A 33-year-old man came to our attention and we treated him for a keloid scar located between the ear's helical tubercle and the ante-helix upper root of the left ear. This keloid arose 20 years earlier following a bilateral otoplasty. We proposed an association therapy using a non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid and cortisone.
Conclusion:
The associated treatment was able to determine a complete resolution of the keloid without recurrence several months later.
