Show this to your plastic surgeon: The treatment isn't "mine" it was described by a dermatologist about 2 years ago and is in the medical literature The treatment consists of triamcinolone 40mg/cc and fluorouracil 50mg/cc mixed 50/50 and injected into the superficial layers of keloid--I personally use triamcinolone 80/cc (made by decanting 5cc of clear fluid from a 10 cc bottle of 40 mg/cc) -- it works better, I have not had any complications from this but it doesn't mean you won't. I limit each treatment to 2cc total per month maximum for fear of systemic effects from meds. wait 2-3 months for effect before reinjecting into any areas that still aren't flat--full effect takes 3 months (steroid effect for first month, 5fu effect starts at 2 months). I have been using it for two years It seems all keloids respond, problem is that parts of them will start to get red and itchy every 3-6 months and require injections to prevent their regrowth It will depigment black skin Jeffrey R Fischman, MD ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Botkin" To: Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 12:32 PM Subject: Re: [OT]: MPLAB IDE 5.7 (16-bit) : MPASM Relocatable code > On Mon, 21 Oct 2002, Nic Scheepers wrote: > > > Please bare with me , I am sorting out the encoding problem as soon as I can.
