Keloid is an inherent issue with the type of skin and ethnicity

It is more common in black people than in white

It can be treated with local steroid injections and silicone strps

If need be can be operated followed by steroid in scar on table and postoeratively

Hi

Had typed from a smart phone so just missed that query

Statistical data says keloids develop most often on the chest, back, shoulders, and earlobes. They rarely develop on the face (with the exception of the jawline).

There is no data known for specific areas of abdomen which are prone to keloid formation nor is it mentioned in literature that upper abdomen is more prone to keloid formation than lower abdomen

But in our practice we have seen keloids in Laparotomy scars both lower and upper but in my practice of 23 years it is more commonly seen in lower abdominal scars

Yet because it is not documented we cannot claim lower abdomen is more prone

Hope this answers your query

Hi

I think I have replied to your query in my previous reply

Again for your information :

There is no data known for specific areas of abdomen which are prone to keloid formation nor is it mentioned in literature that upper abdomen is more prone to keloid formation than lower abdomen

But in our practice we have seen keloids in Laparotomy scars both lower and upper but in my practice of 23 years it is more commonly seen in lower abdominal scars

Yet because it is not documented we cannot claim lower abdomen is more prone

Hope this clears your doubts
