Case Report: Pigment Recovery Following Postinflammatory Hypopigmentation Secondary To Cryotherapy Treatment
Year: 2020
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Cryotherapy is one of the treatment modalities in dermatology. Frequently, post inflammatory hypopigmentation occurs following the use of cryotherapy and this is a major drawback of this treatment modality. Patients worry about re-pigmentation following treatment. Case reports and clinical studies on what happens following cryotherapy especially if and how long it takes for re-pigmentation to occur are few. This dearth in literature makes it difficult for practitioners to advice cryotherapy patients. We present a case report of repigmentation in an adult female (one of our colleagues) following cryotherapy.
