Abstract
Keloids (K) and hypertrophic scars (HS) are highly prevalent, but their treatment
is still challenging. Several treatments are beneficial to treat K/HS, but there
is still no protocol or algorithm to address scars following an organized
step-by-step and justifying each type of treatment in the scar phases. This
study aims to present an algorithm to treat keloids/scars. It has been used for
several years in our clinic and helps organize several therapies to treat scars.
Combined, these sequences of treatments lead to progressive improvement in K and
HS.
