title: [Treatment of keloids (review of the literature, therapeutic suggestions)].
abstract: The authors treated 25 patients with 31 keloids. They used cryotherapy after intralesional steroid infiltration. One area was treated 3-4 times. All patients showed more or less improvement. 18 keloids were completely cured, 9 improved, 2 showed only minimum change, the treatment had to be given up in two patients. The method has been found effective but is recommended primarily in case of small and not too old lesions.
