This trial tests a special gel designed to prevent raised, thick scars (hypertrophic scars) after surgery or injury. If you have a new scar from a C-section, breast implant, or clean cut, this study may help reduce scarring.
This study tests whether adding a cold therapy treatment (cryotherapy) to standard steroid injections can improve keloids and hypertrophic scars. If you are already getting steroid shots for your scar, you may be able to join and get both treatments on different parts of one scar.
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 trial compares three creams—chitosan (from shrimp shells), silicone gel, and olive oil—to see which best prevents raised scars after surgery or injury. You may be able to join if you have a fresh scar that healed within the last two weeks.
This study tests whether a special microporous tape can help flatten and soften raised scars after surgery. It may be an option if you have a scar that is raised and you want to improve its appearance.
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.
