Assessing the Effectiveness of Topical Statins in Treating Linear
Porokeratosis: A Case Study and Literature Review
Abstract
Here, we reported a rare case of linear porokeratosis (LP) treated
topically with atorvastatin nanoemulgel for 12 weeks. The patient
reported no obvious skin irritation and was delighted with the outcome.
We evaluated the efficacy of topical atorvastatin as a monotherapy
in this LP patient and reviewed the relevant studies on the application
of topical statins/cholesterol in treating LP.
