Abstract :
We studied with great interest the valuable
case report titled “Lichen planus pigmentosus
successfully treated with conventional CO2 laser
resurfacing” authored by Dr. R. Radmanesh
and his colleague 1. The authors present their
successful experience with the application of CO2
laser resurfacing for the management of residual
post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in
a 54-year-old patient with stable lichen planus
pigmentosus (LPP). She had already received
conventional topical treatments of LPP for a long
time as well as hydroxychloroquine for six months.
