Treatment of keloids using deprodone propionate plaster. (Left) Pretreatment view. (Right) Three years after starting deprodone propionate plaster. A 40-year-old woman developed a keloid on her left shoulder as a result of folliculitis. She was treated with deprodone propionate plaster for 24 hours/day. The patient changed the tape every day and continued to use it for 3 years. Six months after starting this therapy, the scar became soft. In the ensuing 3 years, the scar became almost flat.
