Abstract

Laser skin resurfacing has become a well-established treatment for rhytids and epidermal and dermal lesions. We report a rare complication of such treatment: exacerbation of plane warts following laser treatment. A 27-year-old woman underwent outpatient laser treatment at another center to correct skin irregularities caused by acne combined with plane warts on her nose and glabella. Two weeks after treatment, she noticed the development of multiple plane warts. After another 2 weeks, she presented at my hospital with exacerbated multiple isolated plane warts. The lesions disappeared with no residual scarring following 6 weeks treatment with retinoic acid 0.05% cream.
