  • 1

    Keloids are chronic inflammatory fibroproliferative disorders characterized by invasive growth beyond wound margins and high recurrence rates.

  • 2

    The pathogenesis of keloids involves mechanical forces, chronic inflammation, and profibrotic signaling, creating a positive feedback loop.

  • 3

    Keloids exhibit tumor-like features, including persistent local proliferation, immune cell infiltration, and imbalance in matrix remodeling.

  • 4

    Current management strategies for keloids face challenges due to high recurrence rates, despite multimodal treatment approaches.

  • 5

    Emerging therapies focus on mechanomodulation and targeting inflammatory pathways, offering new directions for keloid treatment.
