Angioma serpiginosum ( AS ) is a rare, benign, vascular disorder comprising non‐blanchable punctate red to purple lesions in a gyrate or serpiginous configuration. We report a case of a 38‐year‐old woman with a red colored eruption on her chest which was present since puberty. A novel 532 nm potassium‐titanyl phosphate ( KTP ) laser (Excel V, Cutera Inc., Brisbane, CA, USA) was applied which resulted in near complete resolution after two sessions of treatment.
