PUVA therapy of chronic actinic dermatitis.
Four men with long-standing chronic actinic dermatitis were treated with a modified PUVA regime which initially included generalized applications of topical steroids given immediately after PUVA exposure. All patients are now free of rash, no longer need protection from UV radiation, and are being maintained on twice monthly PUVA therapy (IO J/cm2).
