BACKGROUND In a previous study, the authors described an adjuvant pressure therapy using magnets for the management of ear keloids. The purpose of the present study was to build on this previous study by expanding the cohort of patients, evaluating treatment outcomes by means of a prospective study and identifying risk factors for recurrent ear keloids. METHODS The authors treated 1436 ear ke...

Keloids and hypertrophic scars represent excessive wound healing involving high production of collagen by skin fibroblasts. This review focuses on the role of high-mobility group box protein-1 (HMGB-1), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and vitamin D in these conditions. Although the role of HMGB-1 in keloids and hypertrophic scars is unclear, the effect of HMGB-1 on fibroblasts suggests a prof...

A wide range of therapeutic options exists for the treatment of keloids, all of which have their own strengths; however, a high risk of side‑effects and frequent recurrence remains. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify improved therapeutic approaches or drugs for the treatment of keloids. Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) has been reported to exert numerous antitumor effects, thus indicating that...

Background: Keloid scar patients are known to present with a combination of symptoms including pain, physical deformity and psychological distress. These three facets that characterise the full extent of the keloid disease (KD) have not been validated in a clinical setting before as a whole and thus the disease is usually approached and managed incompletely. Assessment measures need to accurate...

Hypertrophic scars and keloids are 2 forms of excessive cutaneous scarring that occur in predisposed individuals. The healing process varies greatly among patients, and the risk of a bad scar evolution is unpredictable. Keloids create disfiguring scars with associated erythema and pain or pruritus or restricted range of motion, and are a major cause of morbidity. A fortuitous observation was ma...
