Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been proved to be an effective and safe treatment for port-wine stain (PWS) birthmarks in China, especially for lager facial lesions. However, excessive treatment, improper nursing and human errors can cause serious adverse reactions that might result in high risks of infection, thick scabs and scar formation. The understanding and implementing of good post treatment care play a critical role in preventing and minimizing adverse reactions. This article will discuss details of good practice for the post treatment care in PDT of PWS birthmarks.
