And there are studies documenting that this prevalence is higher in Hispanic and black individuals and in the pediatric population. Keloid scars can become highly symptomatic disfiguring and which affects the quality of life of patients and their self-esteem.Problem Statement: Is silicone gel solutions superoxidation with equal or better than the gel 8% pirfenidone to treat keloids and hypertrophic scars? Goal: To evaluate the efficacy of a silicone gel-oxidation with solutions compared to a gel containing 8% pirfenidone. Hypothesis: If the silicone gel solutions superoxidation is equal or better than gel 8% pirfenidone to treat keloids and hypertrophic scars, then the reduction in the ECV and the EVA will be similar in the first group than the second. Design: Comparative, observer blind, experimental and prospective study.
