Solcoderm treatment of epidermal growths including intradermal nevi.

Solcoderm was used in the management of various epidermal growths in 372 patients with 1,002 lesions, including condyloma acuminatum, verruca plana, basal cell epithelioma, intradermal nevus, seborrheic and solar keratosis. No antiseptic precautions or local anesthesia were used during the treatment. The results seem promising and suggest that Solcoderm is a simple, safe, and efficient method for the management of these tumors. Cosmetic results were excellent. It is especially recommended when the lesions are in difficult to manage locations for surgical or other known chemical or physical methods, when the patient is not fit for surgical procedures, and when local anesthesia is contraindicated.
