✦ Synopsis

I

Seven patients with nine keloids have been treated by excision with the carbon dioxide laser. Eight of the nine keloids have recurred to their original or close to original size as early as 10 months following treatment and as late as 22 months. Keloids included in this study were located on the trunk, nuchal region, back, and earlobe. Only one patient (who underwent earlobe keloid excision) has greatly improved keloids after only 9 months follow-up, but this patient needs to wear pressure earrings continuously. The long-term benefits of keloid excision with the carbon dioxide laser is not demonstrated in this case study series.

Laser physiology has shown that while wound healing is generally excellent after laser impaction, it nevertheless is delayed. It is thought that this factor may be important in the treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars. These scars have been treated in a variety of ways with the laser, and the

Argon and C02 lasers have been used to treat 13 patients with well-established keloid scars of the trunk or earlobe. Multiple-bore-hole argon technique and total excision with the C02 laser were attempted. One patient with an earlobe keloid responded to treatment, all other patients had no improveme

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory disease of the apocrine sweat glands. Patients suffer recurrent infections of these glands in the axillae, groin and perineal areas. Response to conservative therapy is unpredictable and often short-lived though recent reports of improved success wi
