Background: We describe a case of elastosis perforans serpiginosa and its successful management with PDL laser.
Case Presentation: A 15-year-old male presented with a history of itchy, raised, red and unsightly lesions on the back of his neck. He was diagnosed with Elastosis Perforans Serpiginosa on tissue biopsy and underwent pulse dye laser therapy over four years with excellent results.
Conclusions: Our results show that pulse dye laser therapy is a safe and effective treatment for elastosis perforans serpiginosa.

Reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) is the most common form of the perforating dermatoses, which include RPC, elastosis perforans serpiginosa (EPS), perforating folliculitis (PF), and Kyrle disease (KD). In RPC, altered collagen of the dermis is extruded through the epidermis, which can be misdiagnosed as other skin diseases, such as vasculitis or prurigo nodularis. RPC is associated with a number of conditions, including diabetes mellitus, hepatitis, and renal failure, and thus the management of the coexisting diseases is important.

Article Synopsis
- Wilson disease is a rare genetic disorder that leads to excessive copper accumulation in various organs, and penicillamine is a key treatment that can cause serious skin reactions.
- A case involving a 41-year-old man with Wilson disease showed localized cutis laxa (CL) after long-term use of penicillamine, with skin changes noticed in the neck area.
- The findings suggest that prolonged penicillamine treatment might cause localized CL through interference with collagen fiber connections.
