A complex photodermatosis: solar urticaria progressing to polymorphic light eruption.
We report an unusual case of localized solar urticaria which progressed on each occasion to polymorphic light eruption (PLE); this was initially noted following provocation by narrow band ultraviolet B (311-313 nm) phototherapy.
