- Abstract:
- Various approaches have been taken in the management of verrucae vulgares, but a treatment of choice has not been established. Over a period of 12 months, 99 Patients with recalcitrant or untreated verrucae vulgares on their hands or feet (2:1) were treated with a 585 nm flashlamp pumped pulsed dye laser (FPDL) every 2 to 4 weeks. Laser parameters were: energy density 8 J/cm2, spot size 7 mm, pulse duration 450 microseconds. No topical measures were employed during the course of laser treatment. 93 patients finished the study, as 6 were lost to follow-up. Up to 8 laser treatments led to 63% total remission and 22% partial remission, 15% did not respond to this type of management. Relapses were not found in a follow-up period of 2 to 6 months. FPDL is efficient for the removal/reduction of verrucae vulgares and does not requires less patient compliance than other treatment options.
