ABSTRACT
Congenital melanocytic nevi are cosmetically disfiguring, pigmented skin lesions that are present at birth. A 61-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic 3x2 cm sized black-colored patch involving the helix, antihelix and triangular fossa of the left auricle, and the lesion had been there since birth. The patient refused surgical removal and so we tried fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment for cosmetic improvement only. Clinical improvement was observed after 18 treatment sessions. We report a case of congenital melanocytic nevus within the auricle, and this was treated with fractional carbon dioxide laser.
