title: Piroxicam photosensitivity associated with vesicular hand dermatitis.
abstract: A case of piroxicam photosensitivity in a 42-year-old man is reported. While he was taking piroxicam, eczematous skin lesions on sun-exposed skin and vesicular hand dermatitis on the finger webs and palms developed. He showed a lowered minimal erythema dose (MED) to UVA when a rechallenge with piroxicam was attempted. Photopatch testing with piroxicam was positive.
