Complications following laser hair reduction treatment include thermal burns, which may lead to hyper\u2010 or hypopigmentation, hair stimulation, scar, or transient erythema of treated areas.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title><jats:p>Review reports of persistent urticaria following laser hair reduction and discuss a rarely discussed laser complication.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Pubmed literature review.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There have been very rare reports of persistent urticaria following laser hair reduction. Similar case reports have also been described though no definitive reasoning for this reaction, nor consistent treatment has been documented.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this report, we present a patient who developed persistent urticaria with severe pruritus in the areas treated with laser hair reduction. Previous reports an association was found between allergies and post\u2010treatment urticarial eruption, with 33\/36 patients having allergies, mostly to dust mites which is similar to the patient presented. Other etiologies such as reaction to cryogen and physical urticaria are unlikely.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our report highlights a case of persistent urticaria with severe pruritus following laser hair reduction treatment, with both similarities and differences to other cases reported in the literature. While this is a rare side effect of laser hair removal, it should be monitored in patients who have a history of moderate to severe environmental allergies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocd.15390","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,15]],"date-time":"2022-09-15T08:41:25Z","timestamp":1663231285000},"page":"6698-6701","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Severe persistent urticaria following laser hair reduction"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Noelle","family":"Dorgham","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nova Southeastern University  Davie Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7510-6473","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Benjamin","family":"Witkoff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Larkin Community Hospital Palm Springs Campus Dermatology Resident Program  Hialeah Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eduardo","family":"Weiss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Larkin Community Hospital Palm Springs Campus Dermatology Resident Program  Hialeah Florida USA"},{"name":"Hollywood Dermatology &amp; Cosmetic Specialists  Hollywood Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brad","family":"Glick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Larkin Community Hospital Palm Springs Campus Dermatology Resident Program  Hialeah Florida USA"},{"name":"Glick Skin Institute  Margate Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14764172.2019.1605449"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/dth.14001"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lsm.22024"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1524-4725.2009.01370.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11882-012-0269-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0091-6749(97)70293-8"}],"container-title":["Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/jocd.15390","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1111\/jocd.15390","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/jocd.15390","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,1]],"date-time":"2024-02-01T10:28:03Z","timestamp":1706783283000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/jocd.15390"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,5]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/jocd.15390"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/jocd.15390","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1473-2130","1473-2165"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1473-2130","type":"print"},{"value":"1473-2165","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,5]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2022-05-18","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2022-09-12","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2022-11-05","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
