SURGERY DAY 18-MORE KELOIDS




"If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?"  Abraham Lincoln




You have seen this sweet little girl before. She is 11 years-old, the same age as my son.  She came to the operating room yesterday with a smile. There was no crying when Eric placed the IV and she walked into the OR with a grin. There are no complaints today-even when I cleaned the wound for pictures! After excision of the keloid we injected depo-medrol and will continue this monthly to try to prevent a recurrence. The result isn't perfect but the patient and mother are very happy.
