Different volume of TCN infiltrate according to the size of the lesion. Treatment consisted of three monthly injections before surgery, excision of keloid in the fourth month and perioperative infiltration, followed by two more infiltration of TCN within two months. Post-treatment follow-up of patients was done for12 months. RESULTS: TCN at concentrations of 20mg/ml and 40mg/ml were effective for the treatment of keloids along with surgical excision,no difference between the groups (p = 0.73).
