Photochemotherapy, which consists of oral (and sometimes topical) administration of psoralens (the furo-coumarins 5-methoxypsoralen, 8-methoxypsoralen, and trioxysalen) plus long-wave ultraviolet radiation, known as PUVA, is a well-established effective treatment for psoriasis, which has also been used for vitiligo (1), mycosis fungoides, alopecia areata, dyshidrotic eczema, atopic dermatitis, and certain other skin diseases. Guidelines for treatment have been recommended (2,3).
