Comparing the Effect of Intralesional 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) Alone Versus Intralesional 5-FU Combined With Triamcinolone Acetonide for Keloid Treatment
Both groups are efficacious for the treatment of keloid; however, the combination of 5-FU and TCA revealed greater efficacy, and it was significantly better than 5-FU alone. The results were again significantly better in terms of efficacy in the male gender and those who had keloids for more than one year.
