Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : This report is intended to suggest that lentigo can be removed using the cauterization.
Methods : Handle of the needle, which is distal part to the tip and shaft, was heated with an alcohol lamp to cauterize the lentigo one by one to form a crust, and wet dressing was applied to the treatment sites by using Hwangryunhaedok-tang pharmacopuncture solution.
Results : Ten days after the cauterization, the lentigo was cleared from the normal skin without adverse reactions.
Conclusions : The cauterization is a useful technique for removing lentigo, but the conventional method is somewhat inconvenient, so a radiofrequency technique or a laser-based cauterization may be more useful Instead of the traditional cauterization.
