Article Description

Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic, recurring skin disorder characterized by sterile pustules and erythema, occurring predominantly on the palms and soles. Topical steroid is commonly used. However, it is sometimes difficult to manage these lesions. This study investigated the efficacy of local PUVA-bath therapy in 22 out-patients with palmoplantar pustulosis who were resistant to topical steroid treatment. Excellent or good effects were achieved in 64% of the patients. No phototoxic reactions were observed. Local PUVA-bath therapy is effective for palmoplantar pustulosis resistant to standard topical treatment.
