For most children and adolescents who have developed symptomatic scars, cosmetic concerns are only a portion of the motivation that drives them and their caregivers to obtain treatment. In addition to the potential for cosmetic disfigurement, scars may be associated with a number of physical comorbidities including hypertrichosis, dyshidrosis, tenderness/pain, pruritus, dysesthesias, and functional impairments such as contractures, all of which may be compounded by psychosocial factors. Although a plethora of options for treating scars exists, specific management guidelines for the pediatric and adolescent populations do not, and evidence must be extrapolated from adult studies. New modalities such as the scar team approach, autologous fat transfer, and ablative fractional laser resurfacing suggest a promising future for children who suffer symptomatically from their scars. In this state-of-the-art review, we summarize cutting-edge scar treatment strategies as they relate to the pediatric and adolescent populations.

Keloids of the earlobe are frequent. The effective treatment remains a challenge. Intralesional injections, topical corticosteroids, cryotherapy, radiotherapy, laser therapy, and pressure dressings represent some treatment options. To demonstrate the effectiveness of positive pressure dressings after surgical excision to prevent recurrence of earlobe keloid. 2 weeks after surgical excision, the patient was instructed to wear pressure earrings. The dressing was worn for at least 12 h a day during 6 months. The patient was followed 3 years after the surgery. There was no recurrence of the earlobe keloid. Pressure earring was effective for prevention of relapsing keloid scar after surgical removal.
