Ilham Oulhous, MD

Dr. Ilham Oulhous is a dermatologist and dermato-venereologist with more than 22 years of experience in private practice in Agadir, Morocco. Alongside her work in aesthetic and restorative dermatology, she has developed a particular clinical interest in the management of keloids, especially in darker skin types.

In her daily practice, keloids represent not only a therapeutic challenge, but also a major psychological burden, particularly in young patients from underserved or remote areas with limited access to repeated treatments and long-term follow-up. Many present with large or recurrent keloids, often affecting visible areas such as the earlobes after piercing, with a significant impact on quality of life and self-image.

Over the years, Dr. Oulhous has focused on developing practical and multimodal treatment strategies adapted to the socioeconomic realities of her patients, aiming to achieve meaningful clinical improvement with realistic and accessible therapeutic protocols.

Although practicing in the private sector, she remains deeply committed to scientific research, clinical observation, and evidence-based approaches, with a strong interest in holistic patient care and long-term therapeutic outcomes.

Her presentation will share real-world experience in the management of challenging keloids in darker skin types, highlighting pragmatic approaches adapted to chronic disease, psychological impact, and limited-resource settings.
