title: Flegel's disease treated with psoralen ultraviolet A.
abstract: Flegel's disease is an uncommon condition which causes asymptomatic keratotic papules on the limbs. It usually develops in the fourth or fifth decade. Therapeutic options are limited to emollients, topical 5-fluorouracil and retinoids, but none of these treatments is consistently helpful. We report a patient with Flegel's disease who responded to psoralen ultraviolet A treatment.
