Are topical corticosteroids useful adjunctive therapy for the treatment of psoriasis with ultraviolet radiation? A review of the literature. Abstract Text:

Adjunctive topical corticosteroids are often administered with UV-B phototherapy or oral psoralen plus UV-A (PUVA) photochemotherapy for the treatment of psoriasis. Five studies comparing PUVA alone with PUVA and topical corticosteroid preparations showed more rapid rates of clearing and a smaller total UV-A exposure with the latter regimen. However, one study demonstrated a higher relapse rate in association with corticosteroid use. Further studies to better define these risks are recommended. Six of seven reports evaluating the use of topical corticosteroid preparations with UV-B phototherapy failed to demonstrate an advantage to this regimen when compared with UV-B phototherapy alone. Therefore, the use of a topical corticosteroid preparation with UV-B phototherapy for the treatment of psoriasis is not recommended.
