Queloides - Prevention

Nombres alternativos

Cicatriz hipertrófica; Cicatriz queloide

Prevención:

La decoloración a causa de la exposición al sol puede prevenirse cubriendo el queloide que se está formando con un parche o curita (Band-aid) y usando bloqueador solar al estar un tiempo al sol. Continúe con estas medidas de protección adicionales por lo menos durante 6 meses después de una lesión o cirugía en el caso de un adulto o hasta 18 meses para un niño.

La crema Imiquimod se ha utilizado recientemente para evitar la formación de queloides después de una cirugía o con el fin de prevenir su reaparición después de una cirugía para extirparlos.
