Abstract:
In recent decades, the practice of tattooing has greatly diffused and is performed worldwide. During this practice, many infections can transmit as Human papillomavirus that can present after weeks of months with viral warts. The inoculation of the dye can promote an altered local immune response area, named immunocompromised district that can lead, after long latency period from the practice of the tattoo, to cutaneous disorders. We present two cases of multiple viral verruca localized on polychrome tattoo that were performed many years before. This skin infection has been successfully treated with contact immunotherapy that is squaric acid dibutylester (SADBE), without alterations of the tattoos.
