AB A  large  keloid  (Figure  141-1A)  has  been  present  on  the  upper  ear  of  this  14-year-old  boy  for  more  than  2  years,  since  he  experienced  trauma  to  this  area.  The  keloid  was  excised  in  the  office  with  local  anesthetic  and  the  defect  sutured  using  5-0  Prolene  (Figure  141-1B).  The  cosmetic  result  was  excellent  and  the  patient  was  happy.
