| Abstrakt: | Keloid following circumcision has been described in the literature despite the rarity of its occurrence in penile skin. In this paper, we review the literature and report the successful management of post-circumcision keloid scarring in a 2-year-old boy. After circumcision a 2-year-old boy of African origin developed keloid scarring at the circumcision site. This was treated with three intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetate over 3 months, followed by surgical excision. There was no recurrence at 6 months after excision. To our knowledge this is the 12th case of keloid following paediatric circumcision described in the literature. There is a wide range of techniques described but all are recurrence free at 6 months following repeated intralesional triamcinolone acetate injection and surgical excision. While there is no current consensus in treating post-circumcision keloid, we find that intralesional injection followed by surgical excision provides an acceptable aesthetic result, which is recurrence free.
