Implication

This case series demonstrates symptom improvement and recurrence reduction in auricular keloids using triamcinolone and CO2 laser, supporting a multimodal approach.

Key Points

Marked symptom improvement was observed in all patients after treatment with no recurrences reported.
The treatment protocol included intralesional triamcinolone and 5-FU followed by CO2 laser surgery, with all patients responding favorably.
All three patients previously treated with surgery alone were part of this case series, highlighting its effectiveness.
This multimodal approach suggests a promising alternative for patients with treatment-resistant auricular keloids.
