Abstract
SUMMARY
Sebaceous hyperplasia is a benign cutaneous condition of sebaceous
glands that causes cosmetic concerns in middle aged and elderly patients. It
commonly appears as single or multiple soft yellowish papules of various
sizes with a central umbilication, in highly sebaceous areas especially the
face.
Successful therapeutic modalities has been described including
surgical excision, curettage, cryotherapy, chemical ablation and CO2 laser
but all of which are aggressive and involve a high risk of scarring and
pigmentary changes.
Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is considered the gold standard for many
vascular indications, such as port-wine stains, haemangiomas, and
telangiectasias. It has also gained FDA approval for the treatment of
numerous nonvascular conditions, including, rhytides, benign cutaneous
lesions such as acne, warts, psoriasis and scars and it is a good option in
treating sebaceous hyperplasia.
PDL eliminates SGH quickly, easily, painlessly and only involves a
transient purpuric effect. The effect of PDL could be explained by its
selective action on the telangiectatic component of the lesion causing
destruction of the vessels that nourish the sebaceous hyperplasia, leading to
its reduction.
Aiim off work:
The aim of this work was to study the efficacy of pulsed dye laser in
treatment of sebaceous hyperplasia.
