Keloids

Does keloid history influence reoccurrence?

A study was conducted to determine whether Keloid history affected reoccurrence.  This was an eventual longitudinal study to determine whether histopathological parameters of keloid influence recurrence.

Keloids are fibro proliferative disorders characterized by high recurrence rates, with few factors known to influence the same. Patients with keloids managed by surgical excision were followed up at Kenyatta National Hospital between August 2018 and July 2020.
