ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding keloid disorder, which is a type of raised scar that can form after an injury or surgery. The study aims to collect important information about how keloids develop, their appearance, family history, ethnic backgrounds, and how effective past treatments have been for patients. By gathering this information through an online survey, researchers hope to gain a better understanding of keloids and improve future care.

If you have keloids and are over 18 years old, you may be eligible to participate in this study. Even if you’re younger, a parent or legal guardian can take part on your behalf. The best part is that there are no exclusions as long as you meet the basic criteria. Participation involves completing a simple web-based survey, which you can do from the comfort of your home. Your experiences and insights will help contribute to a better understanding of keloids, potentially improving treatment options for others in the future.
