| Diagnosis: | WART, COMMON / VERRUCA | Category: | infections and infestations / treatment / treatment, carbon dioxide laser | ||
| Body Site: | hand | Age: | 16 years | ||
| Contributor: | Bernard Cohen, MD | ||||
| Description: | series of images demonstrating the role of carbon dioxide laer in the treatment of finger warts | ||||
| Comments: | This healthy adolescent insisted on trying carbon dioxide laser treatment for finger warts that has persisted for over 5 years. The top figure demonstrates the char which developed during the laser procedure. The bottom left shows healing red patches 4 weeks later, and the last figure demonstrates the hands 3 months later. Carbon dioxide laser is extremely destructive, and the risk of recurrence is high, but at times the results are excellent. | ||||

| Body Site: | arm | Age: | 18 years | ||
| Contributor: | Bernard Cohen, MD | ||||
| Description: | series of images demonstrating course following carbon dioxide laser treatment of tattoo | ||||
| Comments: | This healthy adolescent had a tattoo on his right arm which was treated with carbon dioxide laser ablation. Figure 1 shows the tattoo before treatment, figure 2 immediately after treatment, figure 3 2 weeks after treatment, and figure 4 3 months later. Although the Q-switched lasers have superceded the carbon dioxide laser in the treatment of tattoos because of the minimal risk of scarring of these lasers compared with CO2, there may still be a place for CO2 laser for selected patients. | ||||

| Description: | well healed and repigmenting scar 6 weeks after carbon dioxide laser ablation of massive ear keloid | ||||
| Comments: | The large keloid on the bottom of the ear was excised using the carbon dioxide laser, the base of the wound was vaporized, and the wound was allowed to heal by secondary intention. Immediately after surgery the wound bed was irradiated with superficial x-ray. The wound is well healed and repigmenting in this image taken 6 weeks after surgery. The scar was injected with 0.2 cc's of triamcinilone 40 mg/cc. | ||||
