The pulsed dye laser (PDL; 585 nm, 450 micros pulse) has been established as the treatment of choice for port-wine stains (PWS), but only few patients have total clearance. A modulated potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser (532 nm) has been developed that allows the adjustment of energy
BACKGROUND
Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a common cutaneous viral infection. Potassium hydroxide (KOH), as a strong alkali, and cryotherapy have been used for its treatment. The objective of this study was to compare these two treatment modalities.
