Evaluation of vaseline oil applied prior to UVB TL01 phototherapy in the treatment of psoriasis.

Background: Use of emollient prior to phototherapy could enhance UV transmission through psoriasis plaques on the condition that the emollient is not photoprotective. Emollient pretreatment with narrow-band phototherapy (313 nm) has not been studied extensively. We conducted a study to assess if vaseline oil prior to UVB TL01, in chronic psoriasis plaques could accelerate psoriasis clearance.

Nasal haemangiomas may cause great social distress. Complete involution of these haemangiomas does not usually result in a return to normality. The subcutaneous tumour infiltrates the alar cartilages, resulting in a globular aspect of the nasal tip.

Background: The phototest is used to confirm the diagnosis of polymorphous light eruption and to evaluate the different treatments. The different light sources in the different countries explains the lack of standardization. In France, we use a polychromatic source emitting a radiation close to the solar spectrum.

- In France, two types of light eruptions are recognized: benign summer light eruption (BSLE) and polymorphous light eruption (PLE), each with specific criteria for identification.
- A study involving 87 patients assessed the presence of three criteria to classify cases as BSLE, finding that only 9 patients (10%) met all criteria.
- The findings suggest that BSLE may be rare or incorrectly defined, as the distinction between BSLE and PLE could be blurred, indicating a spectrum of light eruptions rather than clear separations.
