Brachioradial photopruritus--a rare chronic photodermatosis in Europe.
Brachioradial pruritus (BRP) is an uncommon localized pruritic dermatosis only previously described from the tropics and subtropics. We report two cases in British residents who had a history of prolonged ultraviolet radiation exposure, and who responded to strict photoprotection of the affected sites.
