- Title

- Authors
Polnikorn, Niwat
- Abstract
Dermal melasma in Fitzpatrick skin types III-V usually does not respond to topical treatments. Laser resurfacing often either fails to treat these lesions or results in severe postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) or permanent hypopigmentation. Two cases of refractory dermal melasma are reported, which responded to treatment with the MedLite C6 Q-switched Nd:YAG laser.
