A couple of weeks after her 9th injection which was on the left, she noted brown hyperpigmentation in the injection area with the left worse than the right. She waited 3 months for the hyperpigmentation to self\u2010resolve before presenting in our clinic. We utilized the Q\u2010switched alexandrite laser to treat the patient with a test spot. One week later, there was nice partial clearance from the test spot so we commenced full treatment of the hyperpigmentation. There was significant improvement after the first treatment and she has been treated 4 times with continued improvement over the past 2 months.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The Q\u2010switched alexandrite laser is a useful tool in the treatment of cutaneous siderosis secondary to iron injection.
