This article explores the intricacies of laser surgery, acknowledging inherent risks and complications. Patients with higher Fitzpatrick phototypes, characterized by unique biological traits, face heightened vulnerability during laser treatments. Limited experience with darker skin tones necessitates a higher level of laser expertise and a conservative approach. The study aims to comprehensively review laser therapy's side effects and complications, with a specific focus on Fitzpatrick phototypes IV through VI. We searched the MEDLINE database from 1972 to 2023 to consolidate knowledge. Results illuminate nuanced challenges associated with laser surgery in higher phototypes. In conclusion, this research emphasizes the need for enhanced expertise and caution in laser procedures for individuals with darker skin, offering valuable insights to optimize patient safety and outcomes.

We presents an unique and significant case of Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis (AGEP) associated with the use of tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor for erectile dysfunction. AGEP, typically linked to antibiotics and antiepileptics, had not been previously reported with tadaladil in the MEDLINE database. The case involved a 40-year-old male who developed an erythematous rash, fever and sterile pustules after starting tadalafil. A skin biopsy confirmed AGEP. Discontinuation of the drug and treatment with prednsiolone cleared the dermatosis. This case emphasizes the need for awareness among healthcare providers regarding this potential adverse reaction, considering the growing use of tadalafil.
