Mesotherapy-Induced Cutaneous Foreign Body-Type Granulomatous Reaction in the Face Treated with Minocycline: Case...

Mesotherapy is a popular treatment that delivers substances deep into the skin but induces foreign body-type granulomatous reactions. However, such reactions caused by unauthorized use of topical tranexamic acid products in mesotherapy have never been reported before. We herein demonstrated a case of a 33-year-old woman with multiple mesotherapy-induced foreign body-type granulomas disseminated across her face. The patient was diagnosed with echo-color Doppler (ECD) and successfully treated with medications including minocycline hydrochloride. Then, we reviewed the differential diagnosis and current treatment for foreign body-type granulomatous reaction.
