Abstract
The pulsed ruby laser has a selective thermolytic effect. Recently, it has been available for the treatment of superficial pigmented disorders. We studied 5 cases of epidermal nevus treated with the pulsed ruby laser. In comparison with the usual methods including electrocautery, cryotherapy and skin abrasion, ruby laser therapy is an excellent tool due to technological ease and rapid improvement. Depigmentation after treatment in 2 cases was the only side effect of this therapy. Bose cases had a dark pigmentation of the skin. Despite of the risk of discoloration, the ruby laser is one of the most effective tools for therapy of pigmented epidermal nevus.
