Efficacy of fractional CO laser with intralesional steroid compared with intralesional steroid alone in the treatment of keloids and hypertrophic scars.

Background And Objective: Keloids and hypertrophic scars (HTS) are abnormal fibrous reactions that persist for prolonged periods, rarely regress without treatment and recur after excision. Many modalities of treatment have been advocated but the success rates of these have been variable. The present study is an attempt to evaluate and compare the efficacy of combination of fractional CO laser (FCL) and intralesional steroid (ILS) against ILS alone in the treatment of keloids and HTS.
