Article Synopsis
- Keloids are frequently seen among Black Africans but are not well-documented in this demographic; this study aimed to understand their prevalence and factors influencing their occurrence in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
- Conducted from February to May 2016, the study identified 102 keloid patients out of 2,940 consultations, with a prevalence of 3.5%, primarily affecting individuals aged 25 and older, and often resulting from trauma.
- A significant link was found between family history and keloid presence, suggesting that those with familial backgrounds should be monitored closely for keloid development.
