title: [The clinical classification method research of keloid].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the clinical classification method of keloids and providing a thread for the treatment of keloids.
  
  
  METHODS
  To summarize the 600 cases of keloid patients we accepted and diagnosed from November 2004 to October 2012, and filling in keloid patients information sheet, recording the keloids form by photographs, analyzing the treatment, putting forward the classification method of keloids in clinic.
  
  
  RESULTS
  According to the position and quantity that keloids grow, the keloid patients are divided into four major categories:one in single site, one in each site, more than one in single site and more than one in each site; According to the area and thickness of keloids, the keloid single lesion is divided into four subclasses: type of small area and thin, type of small area and thick, type of large areas and thin,type of large areas and thick; According to the number of lesions, keloid multiple lesions is divided into two subgenera: isolated multiple and dispersion multiple, different kinds of keloids suit different methods of treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The clinical classification method of keloids can be used to provide thought for the treatment of keloids, and have a good application value.
