The effects of postoperative intralesional corticosteroids in the prevention of recurrent earlobe keloids: A multispecialty retrospective review

Background: Effective treatment of keloids is challenging as the recurrence rate after surgical excision is high. Earlobe keloids are unique due to the low tension in this area, their tendency to respond better to therapy, and their lower recurrence rates after excision. Combination therapy with intralesional corticosteroids is commonly utilized to maximize treatment success. Data on the best treatment practices are lacking.
