Morbidity of the keloid is high, given the frequent recurrences and unpredictable. African blacks and Asians are most affected. The purpose of this study was to analyze the results of treatment of 149 cases of keloids and discuss the reality of keloids in the dark. ⋯ The keloid is not a homogenous biological entity. Its prevalence is higher among black and yellow, and lowest among whites. The research results are still being evaluated. The best prevention is to avoid the scar itself.
