Abstract:
At twenty two year old female with nevus comedonicus and an increased tendency to form keloids is described. Although example of successful treatment of nevus comedonicus are readily found in the literature none propose reasonable therapeutic models for keloid formers. As our patient clearly demonstrated this tendency. We initated a t,rial with the carbon dioxide laser due to it's ability to cause less thermal damage. Subsequent to completion of this t,rial, the lesion has imprcived with the acceptable cosmetic results and less comedogenic activity.
