ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to compositions useful in the phototherapeutic treatment of psoriasis and other proliferative skin diseases. The compositions of the present invention comprise dihydroxyacetone and a penetration attenuator, both in a cosmetically and/or pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Optionally, the compositions of the present invention may also contain an acidic component. The compositions of the present invention are useful in the exploitation during phototherapeutic treatment of the hyper-desquamation characteristics of the psoriatic or otherwise affected skin.
