Cutaneous lasers and skin camouflage make-up: A useful alternative intervention for periorbital hairy congenital melanocytic naevus

Abstract

Periorbital congenital melanocytic naevi can be very disfiguring and difficult to treat effectively. Although surgical excision and reconstruction is the most widely accepted treatment strategy, we describe a case in which cutaneous lasers treatment followed by the application of cosmetic skin camouflage make-up provided an alternative solution delivering a good cosmetic improvement.
