Successful colchicine administration in facial granulomas caused by cosmetic implants: Report of a case

Abstract

Injectable cutaneous microimplants may occasionally cause either persistent local irritation or late skin reactions in the form of foreign body granulomas at the injected areas. Permanent elimination of the latter is not easily achieved.

The skin of a female patient developed nodules along the treated sites on her face a few months following the last session of intracutaneous injections. Intralesional steroids offered temporary and incomplete clearance. Colchicine was administered orally for better results.
