    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of different concentrations of dithranol ointment for limited psoriasis vulgaris.
    • To determine the response rates across various psoriasis lesion types.

    Main Methods:

    • 40 outpatients with psoriasis vulgaris were enrolled.
    • Daily brief applications of 1%, 2%, or 3% dithranol ointment were administered.
    • Treatment response was assessed across different lesion morphologies.

    Main Results:

    • Dithranol showed effectiveness in treating large plaques, small lesions, and guttate psoriasis.
