  • Title: Photosensitive pityriasis rubra pilaris.
    Author: Iredale HE, Meggitt SJ.
    Journal: Clin Exp Dermatol; 2006 Jan; 31(1):36-8. PubMed ID: 16309476.
    Abstract:
    Exacerbation of pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) with ultraviolet exposure is well recognized. However, the initial presentation of PRP in a photoexposed distribution is infrequently reported, and only rarely confirmed with phototesting. We describe such a case of photosensitive PRP. Phototesting revealed exquisite ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity, which was particularly marked to UVB, a feature shared with previously reported cases.
