We report the case of a 46‐year‐old Caucasian female presenting with mucocutaneous pigmentation on the lips, oral mucosa, hands, feet and nails, as well as on a psoriatic plaque. She was successfully treated with Q‐switched Nd‐Yag laser, with double frequency, for both the mucosal and cutaneous lesions.
