Brief Summary: Keloids are macroscopic cutaneous scarring that result from disturbance of wound healing that occurs on predisposed individuals

Keloid shows a kind of over-healing producing over abundant wound matrix responsible for raised inflexible red scar tissue that causes pain and itching
Detailed Description: Multiple hypotheses have been proposed for keloid formation Though the pathogenesis of keloids is not fully understood it involves the dysregulation of complex inflammatory pathways

Several studies reported that IGF-IR was overexpressed in keloid fibroblasts Current treatment options include intralesional and topical therapies surgical interventions radiation and laser-based therapies

Intralesional corticosteroid is the most commonly used nonsurgical treatment for keloids Fractional laser combined triamcinolone acetonide with may minimize collagen production by decreasing fibroblast activity with a low recurrence rate of 154 which is superior to each modality

In recent years physicians were using botulinum toxin A BTX-A as a modality for prevention and treatment of keloids Botulinum toxin type A isolated from Clostridium botulinum is a potent neurotoxin that blocks neuromuscular transmission It has been shown to improve scar cosmesis by decreasing tension on healing wound edges

The role of topical insulin in wound healing has been under search in literature since 1970s

Zhang et al explored the effect of local insulin injection on systemic blood glucose level and wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcer

As far as the investigatorrs are aware this is the first study to assess the effectiveness and safety of intralesional insulin for the treatment of keloid
