moderate cosmetic results, but they frequently lead to scarring and pigmentation changes. 3 Surgical therapy presents immediate resolution, but causes discomfort and oedema for few days and patients need to be hospitalized.Podophyllin, is a plant alkaloid obtained from the dried roots of the may apple or mandrake (Podophyllum peltatum). It crosses cell membranes and interferes with cell replication and works as a keratolytic that causes arrest of cell mitosis in metaphase. It is often used for the treatment of genital warts. In Europe, it is used also in the treatment of actinic keratosis with good results. We preferred podophyllin to other modalities of treatment because of the easy availability and application, lack of pain, and no need for hospitalization. No scarring, infection, or other adverse events were observed in our patient. Patient satisfaction with this method was high due to rapid healing time, easy wound care.M Türkmen,* 0 Ertam, 0 Ünal, T Dereli
