Keloid Books by Dr. Tirgan

THIS GUIDELINE publication is a compilation of recommendations for treatment of patients with common clinical presentations of keloid disorder. As you will notice throughout this volume, not all keloid patients present in a similar manner. Every patient presents with a unique problem. Therefore, the treatment for each keloid lesion should be customized for each patient. Obviously, the first instinct in a young person who develops a keloid lesion is to have that lesion surgically removed. As documented in each Guideline, rushing into surgery will often result in worsening of the keloids - simply because keloid disorder is a progressive and multifocal disorder of the skin. Our better understanding of basic facts about this chronic genetic ailment will guide us to more effective treatment choices.

The 2^nd Edition of Atlas of Ear Keloid is a more comprehensive color atlas, with addition of new chapters on pediatric ear keloids, post-otoplasty ear keloids as well as expansion on the cases and photographs presented This book is published in a larger size, to allow for better depiction of all color images.

Keloids are an important medical problem that is often under-appreciated by the medical community. Dr. Michael Tirgan has spent many years evaluating and treating patients with keloids in different regions of the body. The Atlas of Ear Keloids presents new insights into the natural history of keloids and provides a perspective that many of the standard surgical approaches may actually lead to the progression of these tumors on the ear. He presents good examples of an alternative treatment with cryotherapy that has convincingly eliminated some of the most troublesome keloids on the ear. This book will provide valuable information to patients with keloids on the ear and to medical professionals that treat these lesions. Atlas of Ear Keloids is available on Amazon.com.
