- Laser Surgery
Background:
- Acrokeratoelastoidosis is a rare, benign skin condition.
- Characterized by papules on the hands and feet.
Observation:
- A 21-year-old patient with acrokeratoelastoidosis underwent Er:YAG laser treatment.
- The treatment resulted in slight flattening of the lesions.
Findings:
- Er:YAG laser surgery demonstrated a modest improvement in acrokeratoelastoidosis.
- No recurrence of lesions was noted within a 6-month follow-up period.
Implications:
- Er:YAG laser surgery may be a potential treatment for acrokeratoelastoidosis.
- Patients should be aware of the limited efficacy and potential outcomes.
