Abstract

Keloid scars, result from a chronic inflammatory response after trauma to the reticular dermis. Although first line treatment in Guatemala is triamcinolone intralesional injections, I present 2 cases treated with cryotherapy. Cryotherapy has proved to be a good treatment option for patients suffering from keloid scars, since it induces an antifibrotic inflammatory response.
