ADDRESSING TREATMENT COMPLEXITY: A CASE REPORT ON INTRALESIONAL CORTICOSTEROID THERAPY FOR UNCONVENTIONAL MULTIPLE KELOIDS
Dr. Ananya Thakur* and Dr. Prajul Mehta
ABSTRACT
The following case report encompasses the peculiar presentation of multiple keloids in a 38 year old woman, who initially sought medical attention due to a large, erythematous, firm, noduloplaque like lesion on the plantar aspect of her right foot. Upon further evaluation it was established that since the last 15 years, she had been developing multiple keloids in unusual sites across her body without any obvious history of trauma, which prompted further investigations and management. The patient was treated with emollients and a single course of intralesional corticosteroids was administered, as the patient refused further injections due to unbearable pain. This clinical article reflects on the challenges encountered while administering Intralesional Triamcinolone Acetonide in a patient with multiple, dense, unyielding keloids.
