We describe the case of a 31-year-old woman with a 3-year history of persistent ALHE, located on the tragus of her right ear, with no sign of spontaneous regression over a period of 3-6 months and refractory to intralesional corticosteroids. We report the successful use of the Nd:YAG laser for this condition, which offered excellent symptomatic and cosmetic results and suggests the consideration of this modality in the treatment of ALHE. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
