Overview
Surgery
In cases of failed medical therapy, surgical removal often becomes necessary.
Tracheostomy
Blockage of the airway will often require a tracheostomy to be performed (insertion of an external airway through the front of the neck into the trachea below the level of the obstruction).
Pulsed dye laser
Sometimes pulsed dye laser can be used to accelerate healing of ulceration. Pulsed dye laser can be useful for very early flat lesions if they appear in cosmetically significant areas or for those lesions that leave residual surface blood vessels in the case of incomplete resolution.
