Randomized Controlled Trial
A comparison of intralesional verapamil and triamcinolone monotherapy in the treatment of keloids in an African population.
Keloid is a fibroproliferative disorder of dermal origin, common and severe in the dark-skinned individuals. The patients suffer from pain and pruritus with poor body image. ⋯ Verapamil as monotherapy is less efficaceous in the resolution of symptoms of keloids but is comparable to triamcinolone in reducing the size of small-sized keloids.
