Abstract
The results are presented of 2 years’ experiments with Tigason® treatment of pustulosis palmo-plantaris (19 patients) and eczema keratoticum manuum (15 patients). These two skin diseases are characterized by being extremely resistant to conventional dermatological therapy, but responding immediately to treatment with Tigason. The rather high frequency of side-effects of the drug (dryness of mucosae, loss of hair, etc.) complicates the treatment but in about 50% of patients continuous or intermittent treatment over several years proved to be really beneficial.
