title: Psoralen and sunlight for psoriasis in the Southwest.
abstract: The treatment of psoriasis with psoralen and direct sunlight has been reported as successful but unpredictable because of its dependence on prevailing weather conditions which are subject to marked daily and seasonal variations. A study carried out in a locale nearly ideal because of its reliable year-round sunshine produced complete remission of all exposed plaques in twelve consecutive patients.
