Abstract Treatment of verruca plana is often challenging, and multiple treatment modalities, both pharmacologic and destructive, are frequently necessary to clear lesions. We report a case of a 16‐year‐old girl with a 2‐year history of extensive verruca plana of the forehead, temples, and upper periorbital skin, recalcitrant to monotherapy with topical tretinoin cream, that completely resolved following first dose of nonavalent human papillomavirus (HPV) immunization.
