Microneedling vs. 5-Fluorouracil or Steroid Injections for Hypertrophic Scars and Keloids

Hypertrophic scars and keloids are dermal fibroproliferative disorders unique to humans.They are common and usually occur following burns, trauma, inflammation, or surgery, butsometimes occur spontaneously. Despite an array of therapeutic approaches for scartherapy such as surgical excision, occlusive dressings, topical and intralesionalcorticosteroids, interferon, cryosurgery, radiation, pressure therapy, laser therapy,retinoic acid, and silicone gel sheeting, no single method provides complete benefit. Forthis reason, the medical care of HTSs and keloids remains clinically challenging. Thestudy was conducted on 60 patients complaining of HTSs & keloids.
