ABSTRACT
A 91-year-old man presented with pruriginous tense blisters and erosions on the upper and lower extremities (Figures 1A and 1B). Mucous membranes were unaffected and Nikolsky's sign was negative. These lesions appeared 48 hours after the administration of the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. The patient had received the first dose of the same vaccine 23 days prior to the onset of lesions. He did not suffer from any other post-vaccination adverse effects.

We present the case of a 16-year-old boy with Peutz-Jeghers disease with successful treatment of oral lentiginosis with one session of picosecond 755-nm alexandrite laser. To date, only in one other article picosecond laser is used for lentiginosis in Peutz-Jeghers disease. Other therapeutical options include Q-switched 755-nm alexandrite, 1064-nm Nd:YAG, 532-nm KTP-laser, ruby and intense pulsed light, which generally require more sessions, are less pigment-selective and have overall worse results than picosecond laser treatment.
