Is photodynamic therapy a relevant therapeutic option in refractory benign familial pemphigus (hailey hailey disease)? a series of 8 patients.

CONCLUSION: Our series, although limited in size, emphasizes the interest of PDT in this difficult condition even though results may be incomplete. Treatment-related pain can be adequately managed by prior analgesics, cooling with sprayed water and local tumescent anesthesia. Overall, PDT appears as a relevant option in refractory HHD management with a favorable benefit/risk ratio. PMID: 28301978 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
