Intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) injection is effective, but frequently associated with side effects. Pentoxifyllin (PTX) is a vasodilator, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic agent. Its intralesional injection in keloids has not been evaluated yet. Evaluating the efficacy and safety of intralesional PTX versus intralesional TAC and their combination for treatment of keloids. Thirty patients with keloids were divided into three equal groups and treated by intralesional injection of TAC, PTX, or their combination (admixed in 11 ratio). Injections were repeated every 3weeks until lesional flattening or for maximum of 5sessions. The evaluation was done using the Vancouver Scar Scale and the Verbal Rating Scale for pain and itching. A significant improvement in VSS was detected in all groups. Significantly better improvements in keloid height, pliability, pain, and itching were detected in the TAC and AC-induced side effects.
