Introduction: Keloids are the result of an overgrowth of dense fibrous tissue that usually develops after healing of a skin injury. The exact pathogenesis of Keloids is unknown and their occurrence is spontaneous. The uncontrolled overgrowth of dense fibrous tissue extends beyond the borders of original wound and does not regress. No single therapeutic modality has been proven to be most effective for treatment therefore this study is plan to use intralesional steroids injection in keloid and measure the efficacy and to see if it is a better and cost effective method and also to determine its utility for clinical practice in dermatology in future. Objective: To determine the efficacy of intralesional steroid injections in keloids with dental syringe. Settings: Dermatology department, Jinnah Medical College Hospital in outpatient department (OPD). Duration: 06 months from 14th April’2018 to 14th Oct’ 2018. Design: Cohort Study. Subject and Methods: A total of 79 patients with having keloid were included in this study. During each visit, the size of the keloid was recorded centimeter using the Vernier's calipers, in terms of length, breadth, and height Injection triamcinolone acetonide was used in strength of 40 mg/ml.
