Fig. 3. — Comparison between algorithm-compliant and noncompliant patients with similar severity. The compliant case (A) received oral PPL with PDL starting at the age of 4 months, with almost complete lesion resolution by the age of 1 year. (B). In contrast, the noncompliant patient (C) refused oral PPL treatment due to a fear of side effects and only received PDL treatment, with the lesion persisting even at the age of 4 years. This patient eventually underwent an excisional surgery.
