Abstract:
The term 'keloidal' describes the appearance of scars in dissecting cellulitis of the scalp but not their diagnosis. It should prompt assessment of inflammatory activity, coexisting acne keloidalis nuchae, and independently occurring keloids. Clinical decisions require lesion-specific evaluation; comparative evidence does not establish scar equivalence or generalized keloid susceptibility.
