| Core Tip |
A keloid is a benign protuberance of scar tissue formed after a skin wound. Radiotherapy (RT) immediately after surgical resection can effectively reduce the recurrence rate of keloids, but can also disrupt the ordered sequence of cell interactions, leading to repeated inflammatory responses and inadequate healing, thus resulting in a chronic wound. We aimed to test the efficacy of hydrogen inhalation (HI) therapy in the treatment of a patient who developed a chronic wound after skin grafting and RT. The novel adjuvant therapy of HI resulted in effective reepithelialization and successful healing. |
