A congenital, erythematous eruption.

A 2-day-old male patient born full-term via uncomplicated vaginal delivery was seen for multiple erythematous, scaly papules that were present at birth. Physical examination showed a well-appearing male with erythematous papules with scale on his scalp, face, trunk, and bilateral upper and lower extremities. A 4 mm punch biopsy was performed on one of the representative papules on his abdomen and subsequent histopathological tests showed multiple Langerhans cells in the papillary dermis with positive CD1a and Langerin stains.

The use of the low-fluence 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser in a female with contraindications to systemic anti-acne therapy.

To date, reports on the safe and effective treatment of severe inflammatory facial acne with the low-fluence 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser are limited.The authors report a case of treatment for severe inflammatory acne in a pregnant Asian female (Fitzpatrick skin type IV) with the low fluence 1064 nm Nd-YAG laser.These findings suggest that this modality may be a safe, effective, and well-tolerated alternative for patients with acne who have contraindications to the use of systemic anti-acne therapies.
