Core Tip

Core Tip: We report erythema and purpura under dermatoscope induced by lidocaine/prilocaine (EMLA) in a female in the process of cosmetic dermatology. We analyzed the possible etiology and pathology of the dermatitis specifically. This is the first time to share this case report, of which the content has not been published, nor has submitted for publication elsewhere. We expect this report will draw more attention to the use of EMLA especially from dermatologist for cosmetic therapy.
