The relationship between skin stretching/contraction and pathologic scarring: The important role of mechanical forces in keloid generation

Keloids tend to occur on highly mobile sites with high tension. This study was designed to determine whether body surface areas exposed to large strain during normal activities correlate with areas that show high rates of keloid generation after wounding. Eight adult Japanese volunteers were enrolle...
