Research Progress on Formation Mechanism and Clinical Treatment of Earlobe Keloid
Keloid is the body's excessive tissue response to dermal injury,often occurring in the dermis as swelled dermal lesions that extend beyond the original wound boundary and invade the surrounding healthy skin.The most prominent feature is fibroblast proliferation and extensive deposition of extracellular matrix.Keloid is frequently observed on the anterior chest,shoulders,posterior upper back,and craniofacial region,especially occured on ears when keloid grows on the head.It will gradually increase with time,often accompanied by pain and itching symptoms.Earlobe keloid has a variety of treatment methods,however,which has high recurrence rate,Conducting thorough research on the process of earlobe keloid formation can aid in identifying specific target pathways and reducing the incidence of the disease.Additionally,a comparative analysis of various treatment methods for earlobe keloid can assist patients in selecting the most effective treatment plan,reducing the likelihood of recurrence,and enhancing their quality of life after surgery.
