It also examines innovative therapies such as stem cells and RNA microneedles. Technological developments continue to expand the range of available interventions. Treatment strategies increasingly emphasized combination therapies that integrate intralesional corticosteroids, surgical excision, laser modalities, and radiotherapy, demonstrating superior outcomes compared with single-modality approaches, particularly in reducing recurrence, prolonging therapeutic benefit, and improving patient prognosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sole treatments and inadequate therapy are major risk factors for recurrence.
