They usually arise after a cutaneous insult, but idiopathic spontaneous etiology has also been reported. They rarely regress spontaneously. And they are difficult to treat due to high recurrence. We report a case of giant earlobe keloid in a 35-year-old male patient with good response after surgical treatment and local radiotherapy. Giant keloids present a treatment challenge due to complex and poorly understood pathophysiology. Few are the successful reports in the approach. In this article, we review the available literature to discuss the pathophysiology and treatment modalities that can be used to prevent recurrence of keloids","PeriodicalId":203275,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dermatology Research Reviews & Reports","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115269149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, it is one of the primary contributing factors to the patient’s decision to discontinue antineoplastic therapy, thus highlighting the need for better dermatologic interventions to help mitigate the side effects resulting from EGFRI treatment.

All Borrelia species have an obligate parasitic lifestyle, as they depend on their hosts for most of their nutritional needs. Borreliæ are transmitted among vertebrate hosts by arthropod vectors (ticks and lice). Transtadial transmission within their carriers occurs for the Borreliæ RF Group, while this does not (or rarely occurs) for the Borreliæ Lyme Group.","PeriodicalId":203275,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dermatology Research Reviews & Reports","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132566760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

India has made important strides in reducing nutritional deficiencies over the past several decades. However, for micronutrients such as zinc, there is persistently worsening trend.
