Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy that may include persistent facial erythema, which is refractory to topical and systemic treatments. In previous reports a pulsed dye laser was effective in the treatment of these skin lesions. We report the first case of the use of intense pulsed light therapy for treatment of cutaneous lesions in dermatomyositis, which showed satisfactory results without aggravation of the disease activity or other complications.
