PY - 2013 T2 - The Color Atlas of Family Medicine, 2e AB - A 64-year-old black woman presents to the office with itching keloids on her chest (Figure 204-1). 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.
