Abstract
Minutes (30 min) and short-contact (2 h) therapy with dithranol in Lassar''s paste were compared (using a paired comparison method) with the Ingram regime in 21 and 12 patients, respectively. Both minutes and short-contact regimes were effective in clearing psoriasis; the latter was the more effective of the 2 and proved just as good as the standard Ingram regime of 24-h application. Short-contact therapy with dithranol in Lassar''s paste should therefore reduce out-patient attendance and time off work, save valuable nursing time and allow a more social life.
