“…Traditional treatment modalities, such as excision, electrocoagulation, cryotherapy, and lasers, have limitations, especially in cases involving multiple lesions. 3 – 6 Excision may be restricted by the presence of multiple lesions or those with intricate patterns that are challenging to excise. Electrocoagulation and cryotherapy are limited by their potential to induce pigmentary changes and scarring.…”

“… 2 Various treatment modalities have been employed for angiokeratomas, including electrocautery, cryotherapy, excision, laser therapy, and, more recently, sclerotherapy. 3 – 6 With only one published case report from 2010 showcasing its efficacy, sclerotherapy deserves reevaluation. 6 This case report research delves into the potential of 3% sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) as a cost-effective, patient-friendly, and machinery-free alternative to conventional modalities, paving the way for a potentially transformative approach to managing angiokeratomas.…”

A 46-year-old male presented with a 6-year history of progressive, purplish-red, hyperkeratotic papules on the scrotum. These lesions bled during intercourse and routine activities, causing significant distress. Clinical examination and pathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of angiokeratoma of Fordyce. Due to patient preference and cost-effectiveness, sclerotherapy with 3% sodium tetradecyl sulfate was chosen. Following topical anesthesia, the lesions were injected with the sclerosing agent. After two sessions spaced 2 weeks apart, complete resolution of both the smaller and larger lesions was achieved. This case report expands the therapeutic options for angiokeratoma of Fordyce and highlights the successful utilization of 3% sodium tetradecyl sulfate sclerotherapy in achieving complete clearance with minimal invasiveness and cost.
