Abstract:

As one of the most common areas of keloid, the ear is often secondary to ear piercing, trauma, burns, and clinically manifested as a persistent tumor-like fibrous hyperplasia beyond the edge of the wound. Ear keloid not only affects aesthetics, but also affects the psychological health of patients. Its pathogenesis is complex and has not yet been fully clarified, so the clinical treatment methods are also different, and the therapeutic effect and recurrence rate also differ greatly. Treatment methods include radiotherapy, laser, mechanical compression, cryotherapy, silicone gel, local injection of drugs, etc. However, the recurrence rate of single therapy is high and the efficacy is not good. At present, both domestic and foreign countries advocate the combined application of multiple therapeutic methods to optimize the efficacy of treatment to a certain extent and further reduce the recurrence rate.
