Abstract

Phototherapies including LED light therapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are commonly used and considered safe treatment for inflammatory acne. However, there are few reports about the combination of the two methods on the same patient. We report a rare case of blue light induced transient localized acne post PDT. A 32-year-old male with a history of moderate to severe acne for 3 years was successfully treated by 3 sessions of modified red light 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) PDT without adverse events during the PDT treatment. However, when he received blue and red LED light therapy as maintenance one week post the last ALA-PDT, severe localized acne burst on his nose. Subsequently, he received single red light treatment for a month, combined with oral administration of doxycycline for the first week. His severe acne on the nose was recovered eventually. No recurrence was observed later.
光动力疗法后蓝光诱发的一过性局部痤疮:病例报告。
光疗法包括LED光疗法和光动力疗法(PDT)是常用的安全治疗炎症性痤疮。然而,两种方法联合应用于同一患者的报道较少。我们报告了一个特殊的和罕见的病例蓝光诱导短暂的局部痤疮后PDT。32岁男性,有中度至重度痤疮病史3年。经3次改良红光5-氨基乙酰丙酸(ALA) PDT治疗成功,治疗期间无不良事件发生。然而,当他在最后一次ALA-PDT后一周接受蓝色和红色LED光治疗作为维持时,他的鼻子上出现了严重的局部痤疮。随后给予单次红光治疗1个月,第1周口服强力霉素。他鼻子上严重的痤疮最终痊愈了。术后未见复发。
