ABSTRACT
A 45-year-old woman presented with keloidal nodules induced by moxibustion, which is made from mugwort powder. Keloids are benign hyperproliferative tumors of dermal connective tissue which usually result from excessive responses to cutaneous trauma in predisposed individuals. The lesions tend to occur on the upper part of the body as firm, raised tumors with a glassy surface and well demarcated borders. There are several available methods of treatment including intralesional corticosteroid injection, cryotherapy, surgical excision, laser therapy, pressure, radiotherapy and interferon-alpha injection. We report a case of a moxibustion-induced keloid in a 45-year-old female patient, who presented with multiple, round-shaped, erythematous to skin-colored, firm, cicatricial nodules on the moxibustion-applied sites.
