Keloid Scars Clinical Trial
Official title:
Assessment of Verapamil as an Adjunct for Prevention of Keloid Recurrence After Surgical Removal

treatment is yet to be clarified. This randomized clinical pilot study will compare the
effects of two local treatments for preventing keloid recurrence after surgical removal;
steroid and verapamil.
Study hypothesis: Intralesional therapy with the calcium antagonist verapamil has equal
treatment efficacy as steroid injection.
