title: Multiple apocrine hidrocystomas successfully treated with botulinum toxin A.
abstract: Apocrine hidrocystomas, while rare, present predominantly as solitary papules occurring in the periocular region of the face. Various treatment modalities for these lesions exist depending on their size and location, but the management of multiple hidrocystomas can be more challenging. Recent reports illustrate that multiple eccrine hidrocystomas have been successfully treated with botulinum toxin A. Herein we describe the effective use of botulinum toxin A in a 29-year-old man with multiple facial apocrine hidrocystomas, which, to our knowledge, has not yet been reported in the English-language literature.
