[Climate therapy of psoriasis: critical evaluation].
As with many chronic, recurrent skin diseases, psoriasis in all its forms is within the domain of dermatological climatotherapy. However, this is only successful in genuinely stimulating climates, such as in the North Sea islands or in particularly high alpine regions (over 1500 m) under correct topographical conditions. If dermatological climatotherapy is to retain its justifiably good name, care must be taken not to misuse this important therapeutic means (unsuitable climates), or it may be discredited due to insufficient conditions and thus poor results.
