English abstract Exogenous Ochronosis is a rare skin disease. It is usually associated with the topical use of hydroquinone, resulting in a grayish or bluish black hyperpigmentation due to dermal deposition of ocher pigment. There is no gold standard treatment and the therapeutic options are generally not effective. We report a case of a patient with exogenous achronosis after use of Hydroquinone, treated with CO2 Laser and showing very good results
