From the latest issue of Ophthalmology comes the results of a study intended to evaluate the efficacy of topical imiquimod 5%, a local immune response modifier, in the treatment of periocular lentigo maligna, often a pre-malignant pigmentary process that looks like a large, bad freckle.
The results show that periocular lentigo maligna responded beautifully to topical imiquimod (which has also been helpful in treating warts). Nice to be able to treat with a cream instead of surgery.
