The skin, which is unlikely to react unfavorably to topical boric acid, can react strongly if it is absorbed systemically resultant redness can mimic scarlet fever, and psoriasiform lesions, bullae, and alopecia can occur.

Green tea polyphenol induces caspase 14 in epidermal keratinocytes via MAPK pathways and reduces psoriasiform lesions in the flaky skin mouse model. Exp. Dermatol. 16 678-84.

Allergic reactions from topical therapy in psoriatics create diagnostic problems, because the contact allergic lesions may look psoriasiform. Psoriasis patients have a defect in the expression of hypersensitivity (Lindholm et al. 1978). Lind-HOLM et al. found a decreased T-lymphocyte response to stimulation with phytohemagglutinin in psoriatics.

Cutaneous reactions may also be provoked by infliximab. Three patients with rheumatoid arthritis, none of whom had a personal or family history of psoriasis, developed what was described as psoriasiform skin lesions 6-9 months after the initiation of infliximab therapy. Two of the...
