Non-invasive monitoring of the mechanical properties of keloids during cryosurgery.

چکیده
Sir, Non-invasive skin bioengineering techniques are successful in monitoring the progress and response to treatment of various skin diseases. Recently, measurements of skin thickness, elasticity, blood ̄ow, trans-epidermal water loss and hydration were used for objective and quantitative assessment of the maturation of keloids and hypertrophic scars (1 ± 3) and their response to treatment with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (4). The aim of the present study was to determine the changes in mechanical properties of keloids during cryosurgery.

Recently, the uses of intralesional cryosurgery (ILC) have been rapidly expanding in the field of dermatology and oncology. Thus far, ILC has been effectively used to treat keloids, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), and cutaneous metastases. These conditions can be difficult to treat so it is significant to have an alternative, effective treatment option available. IL...
