Intralesional steroid injection in the treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids has been well known for many years. In order to determine whether this therapy can still be recommended, 57 patients with hypertrophic scars or keloids received high-pressure injections of triamcinolon acetonide (Dermojet). 50% of the cases showed significant improvement with respect to scar color, itching and scar elevation. Thus, triamcinolon acetonide therapy is indicated in particular cases.

Urethral strictures and bladder neck contractures (BNCs) can be significantly morbid for patients and may require intervention for effective urinary drainage. We hypothesized patients with abnormal scarring disorders, such as keloids or hypertrophic scars, are at elevated risks of urethroplasty failure as well as postprocedural urethral strictures and BNCs. We queried the TriNetX database to determine the risk of urethroplasty failure for patients with abnormal scarring disorders compared to controls.

Hypertrophic scars (HTSs) are the result of an abnormal healing process resulting from burns and other severe traumas. The symptoms of that condition include skin irritation, discomfort, and itching. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of fractional carbon dioxide (CO) laser therapy alone or with triamcinolone or 5-fluorouracil (FU) in the treatment of early post-burn hypertrophic scars (HTSs) that develop during the first 6 months after the injury.
