Summary: | 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. |
