“…Multiple treatment modalities have been proposed with no consistent efficacy: puncture and drainage (a simple and low-cost process, but it will only yield a transient improvement, with an early recurrence [3, 5]), surgical excision [3, 8], CO 2 and other lasers [5,8,9,10,11], microdermabrasion and electrodesiccation (easy to perform and low cost, but with a high risk of scarring [12]) as well as topical atropine [13, 14] and scopolamine [15, 16]. …”

Background: Eccrine hidrocystomas are rarely described benign cystic lesions, mainly presenting in middle-aged women in the centrofacial area and usually associated with a chronic course, seasonal variability and no proved and consistently efficacious treatments. Case Report: We report 2 patients, a 45- and a 56-year-old woman, with multiple facial eccrine hidrocystomas suggested by dermatoscopy, confirmed by histology and treated with botulinum toxin A with excellent results. Conclusion: Our report stresses the role of dermatoscopy in the diagnosis and follow-up of these lesions, as well as the impact of repeated treatments with botulinum toxin A in eccrine hidrocystomas suggesting it as a first-line treatment for multiple eccrine hidrocystomas because it is easy to use and has no risk of scars.

“…The treatment regimen of multiple eccrine hidrocystoma is difficult. Based on previous reports, 12,13 , 14 we used topical 1% atropine in hydrophilic base twice daily for 3 weeks in one patient, with no significant improvement. Systemic effects of topical atropine can occur, 14 but none were encountered in the treated patient.…”

“…Topical scopolamine has been reported to be effective by some, 14 but not by others 13 . A hot environment and factors that increase perspiration should be avoided, as they worsen the condition.…”

“…Simple needle puncture induces only transient improvement. Topical scopolamine has been reported to be effective by some, although the treatment has not been universally successful 6,7 . Some articles suggested that the use of topical atropine offered an effective treatment option and the few adverse effects were either asymptomatic or well tolerated 5,8 .…”
