[Acquired reactive collagen disease in the adult: successful treatment with UV-B light].
A 77-year-old patient with diabetes and progressive renal failure suffered from severe pruritus accompanied by umbilicated, keratotic papules corresponding clinically and histologically to reactive perforating collagenosis. UV-B light therapy considerably improved the pruritus and the skin lesions.
