Sebaceous gland hyperplasia (SGH) is seen routinely in both traditional medical and in surgical or esthetic-based dermatologic practices. Treatment options vary and will be reviewed herein; ALA-PDT has proven efficacious in the treatment of SGH.
The use of ALA-PDT has been shown to be successful for the treatment of recalcitrant verrucae, condylomata acuminata, and molluscum contagiosum lesions. Studies have shown that ALA-PDT is a useful modality for these lesions and that it should be considered when confronted with a patient with any of these viral conditions. Additional studies are warranted to further evaluate protocols used, light sources,...

The history of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in medicine can be traced to the beginning of the twentieth century. Raab first reported, in 1900, that paramecia cells (Paramecium caudatum) were not affected when exposed to either acridine orange or a light source, but that they died within 2 h if exposed to both acridine orange and the light at the same time. PDT research turned to other potential photosensitizers...

Although a relatively young procedure, PDT has enjoyed increased popularity during the last ten years. As research has grown, two distinct routes have appeared: the United States model and the European one, each focusing on different uses and photosensitizers...
