  • Abstract:
  • Keloid is a type of scar, which results from overgrowth of dense fibrous tissue that usually develops after healing of a skin injury. In other words it represents an abnormal scar formation. The tissue extends beyond the borders of the original wound and does not usually regress spontaneously. It causes cosmetic deformities, itching, pain and psychological stress ultimately resulting in compromised quality of life and diminished functional performance. The treatment of Keloid is often difficult and frustrating because of the fact that there is an associated high risk of recurrence. Vrana represent the soul of Shalyatantra and the pathogenesis of Keloid is similar to Vrana granthi which has been explained as a growth of mass at the site of Vrana following dietetic complications or any physical irritation in a Vrana patient.
