Lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei is an uncommon granulomatous inflammatory disease, characterized by multiple, monomorphic, reddish translucent papules and nodules, mainly located on the face. Several therapeutic options have been employed with variable results, leaving residual disfiguring scars. On this topic, we report a case of significant improvement of red-atrophic scars in a 54-year-old male after three sessions of photodynamic therapy with 10% aminolevulinic acid. Owing to the high safety profile and the excellent cosmetic result, photodynamic therapy may be considered a useful tool to both prevent and treat undesirable scarring.
面部播散性粟粒性狼疮是一种罕见的肉芽肿性炎症性疾病，其特征为多个形态单一的淡红色半透明丘疹和结节，主要位于面部。已采用多种治疗方法，效果各异，会留下毁容性瘢痕。关于这一主题，我们报告了一例54岁男性患者，在接受三次10%氨基乙酰丙酸光动力治疗后，红色萎缩性瘢痕有显著改善。鉴于其高安全性和出色的美容效果，光动力疗法可被视为预防和治疗不良瘢痕形成的有用工具。
