Abstract

There are more than 11 million people in the world affected with keloids. Nevertheless, there is a lack of agreement in keloid management. Moreover, keloid research has left gaps in the understanding of its pathogenesis. Six questions are answered by 3 clinical scientists in an attempt to address common keloid controversies.
