Randomized Controlled TrialIntralesional triamcinolone alone or in combination with 5-fluorouracil for the treatment of keloid and hypertrophic scars.
Keloids and hypertrophic scars are benign growths of dermal collagen that can cause physical and psychological (cosmetic) problems for patients. ⋯ The overall efficacy of TAC + 5-FU was comparable with TAC, but the TAC + 5-FU combination was more acceptable to patients and produced better results.
