Although there remains no 'gold standard' for the prevention and treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids, silicone gel products and microporous paper tape present the best conservative options. A stepwise algorithm for the treatment of hypertrophic scars or keloids based on the characteristics and responsiveness of the scar presents the best management strategy. Combination therapy (including steroid injections, 5-fluorouracil, and pulse dye laser) proves to be the strongest option for the nonsurgical management of severe hypertrophic scars and keloids.
