摘要
Background Argyria is a rare skin disease caused by cutaneous deposits of silver granules as a result of exposure to silver substrates or ingestion of silver salt. This pigmentation change causes cosmetic problems, and there was previously no recognized effective treatments for argyria. Objective To evaluate the treatment effect of a low-fluence Q-switched 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser on argyria. Subjects and Methods Case report of a 49-year-old with a history of ingestion of a colloidal silver solution daily for approximately one year as a traditional remedy. Results After seven sessions of treatment, the patient's skin color returned to normal. Conclusion A low-fluence Q-switched 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser provided safe and effective treatment for the skin discoloration associated with argyria.
