Efficacy and safety of non‐laser, targeted UVB phototherapy alone and in combination with psoralen gel or calcipotriol ointment in the treatment of localized, chronic, plaque‐type psoriasis

Background  Topical drugs enhance the therapeutic effects of ultraviolet (UV)‐based therapy for psoriasis. However, their efficacy has yet to be established in a clinical trial.
