A keloid, commonly known as a scar, is an overgrown abnormal scar tissue formed after healing of a skin wound or an unexplained skin injury. (2) persistent growth; and (3) hard, tough, red-colored nodular, lumpy or lamellar masses rising above the skin surface.
The keloid is a result of the loss of normal control of collagen anabolic function during the healing process, resulting in excessive proliferation of collagen fibers, also known as connective tissue hyperplasia, or in Chinese medicine as crabfoot swelling or giant scar.
The keloid is a common disease and there is no good way to treat it except for isotope dressing and radiotherapy. The treatment of keloid with isotope dressing made of phosphorus 32 has achieved good results. The phosphorus 32 attached to the filter paper continuously releases beta rays, which act on the keloid and cause the fibrous tissues constituting the keloid to degenerate and shrink, thus curing the keloid.
The treatment of keloid can be divided into two cases: 1. Direct dressing: the dressing device is directly applied to the keloid for fifteen days as a course of treatment, and the efficacy is observed one month after the end of the treatment, if not cured, a second course of treatment can be continued. The disadvantage is that one course of treatment is difficult to cure, and many times of treatment.
2.Excision of the keloid: five days after surgery to do isotope dressing, characterized by a course of treatment most patients can cure the scar.
There is also a colloidal phosphorus 32, which is diluted to a certain concentration and injected directly into the keloid, this treatment is more effective than isotope dressing and can shorten the course of dressing.
