Abstract
|
|
|
|
A synthetic analogue of calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxymitamin D3), has shown immunomodulatory effects as well as induction of cell differentiation and inhibition of cell proliferation. This agent has been widely used for psoriasis. We report a case of seborrheic keratosis of the left areola in a 33-year-old female who was treated with calcipotriol ointment. Because of the lesion’s location and shape, it was difficult to try ablative methods. However, complete disappearance of the lesion was observed after 6 weeks of topical calcipotriol application. This case suggests that the calcipotriol ointment is effective in the treatment of seborrheic keratosis.
