Laser treatment of atrophoderma vermiculata.
Atrophoderma vermiculata is a rare genodermatosis with usual onset in childhood, characterized by a "honey-combed" reticular atrophy of the cheeks. The course is generally slow, with progressive worsening. We report successful treatment of 2 patients by means of the carbon dioxide and 585 nm pulsed dye lasers.
