Steatocystoma multiplex (SM) is characterized by the appearance of cysts during the first or second decade of life. These cysts become inflamed and suppurate. Treatment options are limited; these include prolonged courses of antibiotics, oral isotretinoin, dermabrasion, surgical excision or drainage, LN cryotherapy and lasers, especially nonablative devices. Limited success has been reported with cryotherapy. Acceptable cosmetic results were reported in a case where it was used in combination with isotretinoin.
