Fractional CO2 laser and fusidic acid in Zoon’s balanitis: a case report

Zoon''''''''s balanitis is a benign chronic inflammatory lesion of unknown etiology. This article reports the case of a 66-year-old male patient who presented a 2-year history of a erythematous plaque located on the glans penis. The lesion had not been very responsive to conservative topical treatment with corticoid. A significant reduction in the plaque''''''''s size and an improvement in the pruritus was observed with the use of fractional CO2 laser combined with fusidic acid. The treatment was well tolerated and easy to carry out, and improved the patient''''''''s quality of life.
