Effective Treatment of an Aggressive Chest Wall Keloid in a Woman Using Deprodone Propionate Plaster without Surgery, Radiotherapy, or Injection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Treatment with steroid tape is the standard of care for keloid and hypertrophic scars in Japan. In this article, we present a woman with an aggressive and progressive keloid of the anterior chest wall. At the time of presentation, the keloid had been present for 40 years, and was continuing to worsen and expand. Initially, it was believed that a multidisciplinary approach, including surgery and radiation, would be necessary to achieve an acceptable scar outcome. However, we successfully treated her keloid using only steroid tape (deprodone propionate plaster), and no other treatment modality. The case therefore supports the effectiveness of deprodone propionate plaster, and emphasizes its potential for wider future use. With the paucity of experience reported in the literature on steroid tape for scars, more reports are useful to inform plastic surgeons and dermatologists worldwide about this therapeutic option.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
