This study presents a unique case of extensive keloid scarring, successfully treated with surgical excision and steroid injections. It reviews keloid causes, scar differences, and treatment options.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Wound Healing
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Keloids are abnormal scars resulting from skin trauma, disproportionately affecting individuals of Black African descent.
  • Understanding the pathogenesis of keloids is crucial for effective treatment strategies.
  • Distinguishing keloids from hypertrophic scars is essential for appropriate management.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with an unusually large number and size of keloid formations.
  • The keloids developed following skin trauma.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision combined with intraoperative and postoperative corticosteroid injections yielded favorable cosmetic outcomes.
  • Histopathological differences between keloids and hypertrophic scars were reviewed.
  • Various etiological factors contributing to keloid development were examined.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a successful multimodal treatment approach for extensive keloid scarring.
  • The review provides a comprehensive overview of current and alternative therapeutic modalities for keloids.
  • Further research into keloid prevention and treatment is warranted, particularly for high-risk populations.
