Abstract:
Keloids are disfiguring deformities that occur after trauma or wounding of the skin, most commonly among blacks. The case presented here is unusual because of the number of keloids and the massive size of one. The patient underwent full surgical excision together with intraoperative and postoperative steroid injections with good cosmetic results. Various causes of keloids are reviewed as are the histopathologic differences between hypertrophic scars and keloids. Alternative surgical and nonsurgical treatment techniques are examined.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
