## Abstract ## Background Various options such as surgical excision, steroid injection, cryotherapy, pressure dressing, and radiation therapy are available for the treatment of auricular keloids. In particular, auricular keloid therapy using surgical excision is important because recurrence rates are low compared with keloids occurring in other parts of the body. ## Aims We aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of intralesional excision followed by postoperative triamcinolone acetonide intralesional injection (TA ILI) as auricular keloid treatments. ## Methods We conducted a surgery records and chart review of patients who underwent auricular keloid treatment with intralesional excision and TA ILI. Reduction in height and volume was assessed by two blinded dermatologists. We also analyzed the recurrence rate over a 2‐year period and evaluated patient satisfaction using an 11‐point questionnaire (0‐10). ## Results Eighteen Korean patients (2 males and 16 females) with a mean age of 26.5 years and a total of 20 lesions were evaluated. Lesion types by descending frequency were lobular (n = 10, 50%), anterior/posterior button (n = 3, 15%), wrap‐around (n = 3, 15%), dumbbell (n = 2, 1
