Abstract
A balance between collagen formation and degradation is essential for normal wound healing. Inadequate wound healing results in wound breakdown, and exaggeration results in hypertrophic scars and keloids. We look at the aetiological factors, the biochemical alterations and the treatment modalities for keloids, in this clinical challenge.Entities:
