Abstract

BACKGROUND Studies show that pulsed dye laser (PDL) has some clinical benefits on psoriasis with a low clearance rate. In addition, it has been suggested that applying keratolytics before treatment might be helpful in PDL therapy. Topical corticosteroids remain the most commonly prescribed agents for psoriasis.
