ABSTRACT

Verruca plana, especially on the face, is a disease that can cause cosmetic and social concerns. Therapeutic approaches include immunomodulators and keratolytic agents. Blue light phototherapy shows promising results as an alternative treatment. Blue light phototherapy was applied to the patient with verruca plana on her face. We applied solely blue light phototherapy with a wavelength of 420 nm and a distance of approximately 15 cm. This kind of treatment could represent an effective, safe, and well-tolerated approach for the treatment of verruca plana.
