Abstract

A broad range of therapeutics is currently available for the treatment of keloids, but none have been shown to be completely effective in flattening existing keloids, reducing associated symptoms or preventing recurrence. Therefore, newer treatments not routinely used for keloids have been examined more recently, including laser therapy, intralesional interferon and imiquimod, which have had variable success as therapies for keloids. This article briefly reviews such experimental data and presents recommendations for management of keloids as well.
