BACKGROUND
Acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules (Hori's nevus) is a dermal pigmented lesion commonly seen in middle-aged women of Asian descent. The Q-switched ruby laser (QSRL) has been used successfully to treat a variety of benign pigmented lesions. Multiple, sequential treatments are
Both acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules (ABNOM) and nevus of Ota are characterized by the presence of dermal melanocytes. There are no differences in the method of treatment, however, postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) develops more often in ABNOM than in nevus of Ota following
BACKGROUND
Acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules (ABNOM) is a dermal pigmented lesion common in individuals of Oriental origin. The Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (QSNYL) has been used successfully to treat a variety of benign, dermal, pigmented lesions, including nevus of Ota lesions. The
BACKGROUND
Acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules (ABNOM), or Hori's macules, is a common Asian condition that is characterized by bluish hyperpigmentation in the bilateral malar regions. Unlike nevus of Ota, ABNOM is an acquired condition that often develops after 20 years of age and involves
BACKGROUND
Nevus of Ota, caused by dermal melanocytosis, is cosmetically troublesome in Asian patients. The destruction of dermal melanocytosis using Q-switched laser systems carries a high risk of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation/hypopigmentation.
METHODS
To determine the usefulness, safety, and
BACKGROUND
There are still insufficient clinical reports about quality-switched Nd:YAG laser (QSNYL) in the treatment of acquired bilateral nevus of Otalike macules (ABNOMs) in Asians.
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the efficacy and side-effect profiles of QSNYL treatment of ABNOMs in Korean skin.
METHODS
A
Background and aims: Recently novel picosecond duration lasers (ps-lasers) have been developed for the treatment of multicolored and recalcitrant tattoos, and safety and efficacy have been reported. We therefore hypothesized that the ps-laser could be an alternative treatment for dermal pigmented
We describe two patients with BRAF-mutated melanoma of the epithelioid cell type arising from primary acquired melanosis with severe atypia of the right bulbar conjunctiva. Patient 1 was a 71-year-old Japanese man. After adjuvant cryotherapy and enucleation of the right eyeball, therapy with
Q-Switched laser devices have been a standard treatment modality for dermal pigmentary disorders since the 1990s. However, the adverse events are sometimes intolerable even if the efficacy has been well accepted. These adverse events stop the patient from continuing the treatment and cause other
