ABSTRACT
Acquired reactive perforating collagenosis (ARPC) is difficult to treat. We herein report 3 cases of ARPC, which have been improved by narrowband UVB phototherapy. They had been treated with topical corticosteroid and oral antihistamine, which had no therapeutic effects on their conditions. They were treated with narrowband UVB phototherapy twice a week and four-week treatments resulted in relief of pruritus in three patients and eight-week treatments lead to significant reduction of skin lesions in two patients. Based on our experience, it is suggested that narrowband UVB phototherapy is a good therapeutic modality for recalcitrant skin lesions and severe pruritus of ARPC.
