Unfortunately, there still remains challenging in the treatment of microcystic LMs given their size. We introduce the intralesional laser thermolysis (ILT) technique, a novel enhancement technique for the traditional percutaneous sclerotherapy in the treatment of microcystic LMs.

Article Synopsis
  • Bothrops snake venom causes serious local effects like pain, swelling, and bleeding; it's made up mostly of metalloproteinases and phospholipase A2 toxins.
  • A study on 22 patients in Manaus highlighted common symptoms such as fang marks, infections, and blistering, along with specific skin changes like spongiosis and hyperkeratosis.
