Treatment of molluscum contagiosum with a pulsed dye laser: Pilot study with 19 children.
Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft : JDDG 2008 Februrary
BACKGROUND: Molluscum contagiosum is a common, self-limiting viral disease of childhood caused by a poxvirus. Often the children themselves and their parents desire treatment for cosmetic reasons or because of pruritus. Laser therapy offers another option to the traditional methods of treatment.
METHODS: 19 children aged between 2 and 13 years (median:6) with molluscum contagiosum were treated in a prospective, non-randomized pilot study with the flashlamp pumped pulsed dye laser (wave length:585 nm, pulse duration 0,45 ms, spot size 7 mm, energy density 6-7 J/cm(2)).
RESULTS: All patients tolerated the laser treatment well. In 84.3% one laser treatment led to total remission. In 10.5% a further laser session was necessary and one patient was treated three times to achieve total remission.
CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of molluscum contagiosum with the flashlamp pulsed dye laser is a safe and efficient treatment modality.
