Abstract

systemic pathological features.
Methods: Retrospective study, descriptive statistics based on 60 medical records of keloid patients treated at the Plastic Surgery Center, National Burn Hospital from December 2021 until March 2024. Data were processed using SPSS 20.0 statistical information software.
Results: 60 patients with females (61.7%), the common age from 14-30 (63.3%). Acne was the most common cause (41.7%). Patients with high blood pressure (6.7%). Family history with keloid (8,3)%. Common location: chest (43.3%), shoulder (28.3%). Patients with 2 or more and large keloid scars (63.3%) accompanied by contracture and ulcer scars (13,3%). Methods used to treat mainly: injections, laser, cryotherapy and surgery.
Conclusion: There are many factors related to keloid formation and more studies to provide specific epidemiological characteristics of Vietnamese keloids for further research to appropriate preventive and treatment measures.
