Oral methoxsalen photochemotherapy of uncommon photodermatoses
Abstract
Three uncommon idiopathic photodermatoses, refractory to other treatment, responded to oral psoralen photochemotherapy. Tow females with photosensitivity in association with atopy, one female with persistent light reaction following a systemic drug-induced photosensitivity and an elderly male with actinic reticuloid were treated.
