Management and Avoidance of Keloids in the Male Patient
摘要
Keloids are benign dermal fibroproliferative tumors that result from trauma to the skin, including piercings, insect bites, and surgical incisions. There is limited literature on the effect of keloids and scars on patients by gender. Nevertheless, scars are of important consideration for male patients and their body perceptions. In this chapter, we discuss preoperative planning, patient selection, and different surgical techniques and adjuvant therapies in treating keloids.
