Abstract:
Ten patients, with leucoderma acquisitum centrifugum were treated with psoralens and solar irradiation. Six patients were given oral 8-methoxy psoralen and four, topical tri-methyl psoralen. They were observed every month for six months. Out of ten patients seven responded to treatment. The mode of repiginentation was found similar to that of vitiligo. Therefore psoralen therapy is recommended for treating this condition.
