This trial intends to gather very basic clinical information about keloid, its patterns of presentation, family history, ethnic background and correlation with the type of keloid, as well as prior treatment results that patients have had received.
This will be a web based study, whereby patients will have to read and acknowledge the consent form online. Once patients agree and acknowledge the terms of the consent form, they will gain access to the questionnaire pages. For those who are under age of 18, a parent or a legal guardian must sign the consent form and answer the online questions on behalf of the patient.
