Keloid Removal — patient 90379452
This patient developed a keloid as a reaction to an ear piercing. The patient underwent removal in the office, which involved preserving the skin over part of the keloid. This skin was then used to close the resultant open wound. The scars are healing very well. As keloids tends to be recurrent, steroids can be injected to prevent the regrowth.
