    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Cosmetic Procedures

    Background:

    • Linear verrucous nevi present challenges for complete removal with desirable cosmetic outcomes.
    • Standard surgical excision often results in significant scarring and suboptimal aesthetics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a simpler, more cosmetically superior method for extirpating linear verrucous nevi.
    • To compare the efficacy and aesthetic results of a shaving technique versus conventional excision.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel technique involving shaving the nevi to a depth between the papillary and reticular dermis was employed.
    • The procedure facilitates spontaneous re-epithelialization from residual adnexal structures.
    • This method avoids the need for full-thickness skin grafting or complex closures.

    Main Results:

    • The shaving technique resulted in significantly improved cosmetic outcomes compared to traditional excision.
    • Spontaneous re-epithelialization occurred effectively, minimizing scarring and promoting faster healing.
    • Patient satisfaction was higher due to the enhanced aesthetic results.

    Conclusions:

    • Shaving linear verrucous nevi is a simpler and more cosmetically advantageous procedure.
    • This technique offers a superior alternative to conventional full-thickness skin excision for these lesions.
    • The method leverages the skin's natural regenerative capacity for better aesthetic results.
