The coexistence of photosensitive psoriasis with chronic actinic dermatitis.
A 57-year-old-male who had been a known case of psoriasis vulgaris for 30 years had a history of summer exacerbation of the disease. Subsequently in the course of the disease process, he developed lesions of chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) on the face and dorsum of both hands. The association of CAD with photosensitive psoriasis is very rare. Only one case report is known till now. It may suggest that there is a relationship between the two diseases.
