Summary

evaluate the efficacy and safety of intralesional cryosurgery alone compared with intralesional cryosurgery combined with intralesional 5-fluorouracil and triamcinolone acetonide in the treatment of keloids.

Conditions

  • Keloid

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Intralesional Cryotherapy + Saline Injection

Patients will receive a single session of intralesional cryotherapy followed by intralesional saline injection as a placebo. Saline injections will be repeated at 4-week intervals for a total of four sessions to maintain blinding and follow-up consistency with the experimental group. Patients and care providers are not blinded. Two independent blinded observers will evaluate scar characteristics using OSAS and VSS

PROCEDURE

Intralesional Cryotherapy + TAC/5-FU Injection

Patients will receive a single session of intralesional cryotherapy followed immediately by intralesional injection of a combination of triamcinolone acetonide (TAC, 40 mg/mL) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU, 50 mg/mL) in a ratio of 1:9. Further intralesional injections of TAC and 5-FU will be administered at 4-week intervals for a total of four sessions. Patients and care providers are not blinded. Two independent blinded observers will evaluate scar characteristics using OSAS and VSS.
