Abstract
|
|
|
|
Erythema ab igne is a reticular, mottled, telangiectatic, erythematous or hyperpigmented dermatosis caused by repetitive and prolonged thermal exposure under the threshold. These skin alterations are irreversible and there has been no effective treatment. However, several cases that were treated effectively using laser-mediated photothermolysis have recently been reported. We report here on the case of a 42-year-old Asian female with erythematous to brown pigmented reticulated erythema ab igne who was treated effectively with 1,064-nm Q-switched Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet laser therapy with low-fluence of 1.8 J/cm2.
