Sexual Dimorphism and Other Etiological Factors for Keloids
P D Gupta
Abstract
Keloid etiology is multifactorial. Earlier in our study we advocated that there is a delay in epitheliation and due to continued growth of connective tissue which is coming beyond the surface of the skin and then sealing of the wound takes place. This holds true even now but the mechanism behind this process is still ambiguous. In this review we have mentioned various possible etiological factors and their role in scar formation.
Keywords: Connective tissue; Sex steroids; Hypertrophic scar; Aberration in wound; Spontaneous; Pathological.
