What is Treatment of Hailey–Hailey Disease (or Benign Familial Pemphigus) Using Short Pulsed and Short Dwell Time Carbon Dioxide Lasers about?
background. Surgical intervention of Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) may be required to achieve prolonged remission or cure. Excisional surgery, dermabrasion, and continuous carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) laser therapies have been utilized with success, though patients may experience considerable morbidity. objective. To evaluate the use of short pulsed and short dwell time CO 2 lasers in the treatment of HHD. method. Case report and review of the relevant literature. results. A 26-year-old woman with refractory axillary HHD was initially treated with a short dwell time CO 2 laser. The right axilla was treated with two passes at a fluence of 25 J/cm 2 , and the left axilla with three passes at 28 J/cm 2 . Three years later, several foci within each axilla that periodically blistered were further treated with two passes of a short pulsed CO 2 laser at a fluence of 15 J/cm 2 . At a 3.5-year follow-up, the patient reported continued resolution of her left axilla but disease persistence in her right axilla. conclusion. HHD can be effectively treated with a short dwell time CO 2 laser if appropriate laser parameters are used.
