Abstract
Abstract Earlobe keloids are a common condition with varied and cross-specialty presentation. The condition is often recalcitrant and difficult to treat on account of its location. Frequent recurrences following excision is often frustrating for the patient and the surgeon. Application of pressure along with intra-operative and postoperative intralesional steroids is a popular choice and is in vogue by surgeons and dermatologists. However, considering the uniqueness of the structure for every individual, it is often difficult to ensure one size fits all when using pressure therapy as an adjunct. We designed a simple PMMA dental prosthesis to ensure comfortable yet effective constant pressure over the lesion to ensure complete aesthetic outcome without recurrence in an operated earlobe keloid.
