Özet
Keloid formation of the plantar region is rare and a unique challenge to surgeons. We used a conservative "wait and see" approach for recurrent keloid in the plantar region in two patients and recommended that the patients used custom-made shoes. Both patients were pleased with the result. The keloids regressed and flattened. During our minimum of five years follow-up the patients had no pain, tenderness, paraesthesiae, or problems with walking. We found no complications. Keloids should not be treated aggressively, and in plantar keloids the conservative "wait and see" approach may provide successful results without any complication.
