PWS are well demarcated and flat and grow proportionately in surface area with the child. In infants and young children, PWS are flat red macules. However, the lesions tend to darken progressively to purple and, by adult age, often become raised as a result of the development of vascular papules or nodules. These changes in color and contour are attributed to progressive ectasia of the abnormal dermal vascular plexus. Over time, blood vessels become more dilated and susceptible to spontaneous bleeding or hemorrhage following minor trauma. Bleeding can be difficult to control, necessitate hospitalization and may also increase the likelihood of skin infection. If left untreated, PWS often become incompatible with normal life due to the development of vascular nodules on the skin surface which can often bleed spontaneously with incidental trauma.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]Treatment<\/h2>[vc_column_text el_position=”last”]<\/p>\nThe pulsed dye laser<\/strong> in conjunction with cryogen spray cooling (\u201cdynamic cooling device\u201d or \u201cDCD\u201d) is now the treatment of choice for PWS.

The heat within the vessel lumen causes blood vessel damage which is evidenced by intense purpura (\u201cbruised\u201d appearance of the skin). Several treatment sessions spaced at 4-8 week intervals are required for maximum efficacy. The number of treatments required for maximum PWS fading can be variable and unpredictable.
