Monochromatic excimer light in south indian patients (Skin type IV, V, and VI) with palmoplantar psoriasis: A case series

Abstract

Monochromatic excimer light (MEL) is available in India, although there is not much data on Indian patients. MEL was offered to 10 Indian patients with palmoplantar psoriasis and a response was noted. The mean percentage fall in erythema, scaling, infiltration, and fissuring score among our patients was 62% (standard deviation [SD] 17.2%) in the mean of 10.4 sessions (SD: 4.1). Thus, MEL appears to be a promising treatment option for Indian patients.
