Keloids treated with topical injections of triamcinolone acetonide (kenalog). Immediate and long-term results.

Abstract

In a prospective trial, the results of local steroid treatment of keloids have been studied. 52 patients were treated with Kenalog (triamcinolone acetonide) injections alone, whilst in 15 patients, steroid therapy was combined with excision of the keloid. The combined treatment gave no better results than injection therapy alone. The early result of treatment was the complete flattening of the lesions and cessation of itching in the majority of cases. However in one-third of the cases partial recurrence was found after one year, and after 5 years, the recurrence rate was 50%.
