With input from experts at the forefront of these skin malignancies, Keloids and Hypertrophic Scars is the only book that comprehensively covers keloid occurrence, treatment, and looks to examine:
  • common clinical features of keloids, differentiating them from hypertrophic scarring, and also examines difficult varieties of the keloid including a separate chapter on the ear keloid as well as the deltoid, anterior, chest, and jaw-line keloids
  • the understanding of preventative procedures in surgery and treatment, as well as the development of rational therapeutic protocols
  • therapies that are developed from an immunologic approach, and a detailed examination of each established therapeutic technique, including the importance of combination and prolonged therapies
  • expert review of the mass literature available addressing keloids and Hypertrophic scarring
While keloids have been a documented occurrence since nearly 50 AD our understanding and treatment of these disorders have never evolved to modern day medicine. Our therapeutic approach to these skin malignancies is nothing short of cutting and burning the affected area, and the re-occurrence of a keloid in this treatment is over 50%.
