There is a paucity of studies showing results of PRP treatment in dark skin types, which is more resistant to treatment than lighter skin.

As these tumors do not usually regress spontaneously and have a high rate of recurrence, full-thickness surgical excision is a good option, especially in areas of low tension, such as the eyelids, as it offers satisfactory results with good aesthetic outcome and low chances of recurrence.
