Abstract:
Many modalities of treatment have been advocated for Keloid ,but the success rates of these have been variable. The present study is an attempt to evaluate and compare the efficacy of a combination of pulsed dye laser (PDL) and intralesional verapamil against intralesional verapamil alone in the treatment of keloids.Methods: 40 Patients with keloids were divided into two groups randomly of 20 each receiving four sessions of therapy. Group A intralesional verapamil alone 2.5mg/ml. Group B received a combination of PDL and intralesional verapamil alone 2.5mg/ml. Pretreatment measurements and photographs were taken.Results: Statistically significant improvement was seen in the height and length of the lesions. Overall appearance criteria of modified MQS showed an improvement of more than 50% in 43.3% of the lesions by the end of four sessions. The improvement of these parameters in the verampil only group was significantly lower than the improvement seen in the PDL+ intralesional verapamil group.Conclusion: Combination therapy with PDL+ intralesional verapamil was superior in efficacy when compared to intralesional verapamil alone, in the treatment of keloids.
