AB  - A  64-year-old  black  woman  presents  to  the  office  with  itching  keloids  on  her  chest  (Figure  213-1).  The  horizontal  keloid  started  during  childhood  when  she  was  scratched  by  a  branch  of  a  tree.  The  vertical  keloid  is  the  result  of  bypass  surgery  1  year  ago.  The  lower  portion  of  this  area  could  be  called  a  hypertrophic  scar,  as  it  does  not  advance  beyond  the  borders  of  the  original  surgery.  The  patient  was  happy  to  receive  intralesional  steroids  to  decrease  her  symptoms.  Intralesional  triamcinolone  did,  in  fact,  decrease  the  itching  and  flatten  the  vertical  keloid.
