Flegel's disease treated with psoralen ultraviolet A.

S M Cooper1, S George.   

Abstract

Flegel's disease is an uncommon condition which causes asymptomatic keratotic papules on the limbs. It usually develops in the fourth or fifth decade. Therapeutic options are limited to emollients, topical 5-fluorouracil and retinoids, but none of these treatments is consistently helpful. We report a patient with Flegel's disease who responded to psoralen ultraviolet A treatment.
