Abstract
BACKGROUND: Methotrexate (MTX), alongside fumaric acid esters, is the most commonly used drug in the systemic therapy of psoriasis in Germany. It is sometimes used in combination with topical therapy and/or phototherapy due to synergistic effects. CASE REPORT: Here we describe a case of phototoxic dermatitis during treatment with MTX. Other cutaneous side effects of MTX include so-called UV recall, radiation recall, and skin tumor formation.Entities:
