“…Syrian study found that 80% of spontaneous keloids were located on sternum and shoulders, these agree partly with a previous study, which demonstrated that sternum was the most common site for spontaneous keloids [27,44]. Also, 45% of burn keloids were located on extremities (lower and upper) in that study, while a Japanese study found that all burn keloids were located on chest wall and lower limbs [27,45].…”

“…Syrian study [1] found that 80% of spontaneous keloids were located on sternum and shoulders, this agree partly with a previous study, which demonstrated that sternum was the most common site for spontaneous keloids [28]. Also, 45% of burn keloids were located on extremities (lower and upper) in that study [1], while a Japanese study found that all burn keloids were located on chest wall and lower limbs [25]. About 40% of sharp wound keloids were located on upper limbs, and 50% of surgical keloids were located on sternum and abdominal wall [1,25].…”

“…Shaheen [1] found that burn was the most common cause of keloid formation in uncovered sites (face (35%), neck (50%), upper limbs (44.29%, lower limbs (66.66%), and chest wall (27.59%)),) and less affected sites (lower back (37.5%), button (50%), genitalia (50%), palm and sole (66.66%)), which disagree partly with the Japanese study, found that trauma was the most common cause of extremities keloids [25]. Ear piercing is the most common cause for earlobe keloid [1,6,25]. Acne is the most common cause for scalp keloids [1,6].…”

Keloid is a benign fibrous growth, which presents in scar tissue of predisposed individuals. It is a result of irregular wound healing, but the exact mechanism is unknown. However, it is possible that several factors such as age of onset, sex, cause of scarring, blood groups, anatomical site, presence of family history and number of injured sites (multiple/single) have an important role in keloid formation and consequentially in predicting keloid's behavior in response to treatment and prognosis. In this mini review, we have demonstrated these risk factors of keloids in detail.

Scars are a natural part of dermal healing following lacerations, incisions, or tissue loss. They can vary in quality depending on the individual's racial characteristics, the mechanism of the trauma, and conditions in which the wound healed-all of which are factors beyond the surgeon's control. A scar on the face can have significant implications for the patient. What may seem like an insignificant issue to the casual observer can cause continuous frustration for the patient, affecting their daily lives. These can include psychological as well as social consequences, leading to a diminished quality of life. Factors that the surgeon can control include the favorable repositioning of the scar, proper alignment of the wound edges, and meticulous handling of the tissues.
