“…erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli11 and KP atrophicans12. Histologically, erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli showed increased melanin contents of the basal layer and the upper dermis, follicular plugging, dermal vascular dilatation, congestion and perivascular inflammatory infiltration13. Thus, in erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli, increased melanin pigments and hemoglobin in the papillary dermal vesssels could be the chromophores targeted by the Q-switched 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser treatment.…”

BackgroundKeratosis pilaris (KP) is a keratinization disorder that is characterized by follicular hyperkeratosis, with surrounding erythema. Topical treatments are widely used, but their effects are limited.ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of the Q-switched 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser for the treatment of KP.MethodsTotal of 12 patients with KP were treated with a Q-switched 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser. Ten sessions of laser treatment were delivered once every two weeks. The entire lesions were treated with the following laser settings: 4.0~5.0 J/cm2, 4-mm spot size, and three passes. Two dermatologists' clinical evaluations and patients' satisfaction were assessed between before treatment (baseline) and at 1 month after the last treatment.ResultsEleven of the twelve patients showed more than grade 2 (>25%) improvement in texture and dyspigmentation in KP lesions, respectively. A half of the patients (50%) showed more than 50% improvement in the skin texture. Regarding dyspigmentation, five patients (41.7%) showed more than 50% improvement. Eleven out of twelve participants were satisfied (>25% of the Patients' self assessment) with the procedure. No significant adverse effect was observed.ConclusionAlthough the Q-switched 1064-nm laser treatment may not be the first line therapy for KP, it might be a new treatment option for the patients with recalcitrant KP.

SHM Aljabre, AM Alamir, NA Habiballah, Erythromelanosis Follicularis Faciei: First Case Report from Saudi Arabia. 2003; 23(6): 397-398 Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei (or erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli when the neck is also affected) is a rarely documented skin disease. In this paper, a case of erythromelanosis follicularis faciei in a Saudi male patient is presented. We believe it is the first case from Saudi Arabia. CaseA 17-year-old Saudi male was referred to the dermatology department, King Fahd Hospital of the University, Alkhobar, Saudi Arabia, for evaluation of asymptomatic red lesions on the face. The duration of the lesion was six years. The cheeks were initially involved and the lesion gradually expanded. Exposure to sun aggravated the lesion. There were no systemic complaints and the family history was negative for similar lesions. The examination revealed well-defined symmetrical red-brown lesions with follicular papules involving the cheeks, lower lip and auricles (Figure 1). Beard hair on the cheeks was decreased. Keratosis pilaris was present in the shoulder areas. ANA and anti-double strand DNA were negative and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and complete blood count were within normal limits. Biopsy showed mild hyperkeratosis, follicular plugging and increased pigmentation of the basal layer (Figure 2). In the dermis, there were dilated blood vessels and a sparse perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate.
