Online survey on keloid history and experiences
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study uses an online survey to learn about people’s keloid condition over time. It may help researchers better understand what living with keloids is like and what factors relate to changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or the person you’re helping) have a clinician-confirmed keloid diagnosis
- You must be an adult (over 18), or a parent/legal guardian can answer for a child
- You must be able to use the internet to complete a web-based survey
- You must be willing to complete the survey

This study looks at DNA differences to better understand why keloids—raised, thick scar tissue—can form and grow. It may help researchers find causes and future ways to prevent or treat keloids.
This study tests how radiation (RT) can treat keloids, especially when surgery is not possible or you choose not to do surgery. The goal is to see if radiation can safely improve or control the keloid.
This study tests whether a combination of wide-band ultrasound and a traditional Chinese medicine preparation can prevent keloid scars from coming back after surgery and improve their appearance and symptoms. It may help people who have multiple keloids that are stable or growing and need surgical removal.
This study looks at how keloid scars form by studying the skin cells. You may be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, have a keloid, and are already planning to have surgery to remove it.
This study looks at whether removing a keloid with surgery and then applying a radioactive substance (called 32P) can help treat it. The researchers will also watch how well the treatment works over time to see what affects the outcome.
This trial tests a new way to treat keloids by injecting medicine directly into the scar. It may help people with thick, raised scars that don't go away on their own.
