Cosmetic Disfigurement due to Home Remedy in Melanocytic Nevi
Journal Title: Bengal Journal of Otolaryngology and Head Neck Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
Melanocytic nevi of the head and neck region are common among all ages with no predilection for males or females. These moles can appear as small, dark brown spots on the skin anywhere on the face including the eyelids, which may not be cosmetically acceptable.Case ReportHere we report a case where a toilet cleaner (tezaab) was used to remove the facial mole leading to scar formation, which otherwise could have been removed with various latest modalities with no residual scar.DiscussionMelanocytic nevi can be removed safely by the latest modalities available by the trained professionals but at times people try home remedies or take internet suggestions before consulting a doctor which can lead to ugly scars.
