Introduction: Goeckerman therapy, which combines ultraviolet B (UVB) light with crude coal tar (CCT), remains highly effective for moderate-to-severe psoriasis. While it is rarely still used in the USA as effective biotherapeutics have become more readily available, it offers an alternative therapy in developing countries with limited access to newer medications. Moi Teaching & Referral Hospital (MTRH) in Eldoret, Kenya, in collaboration with UCSF, developed a modified Goeckerman regimen suitable for local healthcare needs, condensing the treatment into an intensive two-week program.

Polymorphous light eruption (PMLE) is the most common photodermatosis characterized by pruritic papules and papulovesicles, which appear hours to days following ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Herein, the authors report successful treatment of generalized plaque psoriasis with Goeckerman regimen in a patient despite new onset iatrogenic PMLE following narrowband (NB) UVB therapy. Although further studies are necessary, this case suggests that the co-existence of psoriasis and PMLE should not prevent the use of phototherapy; phototherapy, especially as part of the Goeckerman regimen, remains a valuable treatment option for psoriasis in patients with PMLE.
