[A new dermato-surgical therapy for the Favre-Racouchot syndrome (author's transl)].

Abstract

A new dermato-surgical method for the treatment of the Favre-Racouchot syndrome is introduced. The cysts and comedones are excised in parallel stripes by means of a small electrically driven dermatome. Thus a number of cysts is only partly cut. These remaining lesions are completely repelled with the eschar. This dermatomy gives excellent cosmetic results and should be considered for the therapy of the syndrome.
