Dr. K. Anitha, Dr. Sunkara Madhuri
Abstract :
Introduction: There are many different types of treatments for keloids, but none works perfectly. Cryotherapy is relatively a promising technique which freezes the scar. So we are now presenting a study of cryotherapy on keloids where there are no restriction and limitations like other modalities of Intralesional steroids and surgical procedures. Aims and objectives: To know the extent of usage of cryotherapy in keloids when compared to other treatment modalities. Materials and methods: Source of data: A hospital based theraupeutic study was conducted in Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, ASRAM, Eluru, AP. 28 Patients were recruited from OPD and study was conducted from October 2018 to May 2019. Liquid nitrogen is used as a cryogen. Results: Out of 28 cases, decrease in thickness and softening of keloids is observed in 12–16 weeks in about 22cases (78.5%). Conclusion: Cryotherapy is a relatively better technique when compared to other modalities like Intralesional steroids and other Surgical techniques which has more limitations and restrictions.
