- Abstract
This article presents a medical investigation report of a case of contact dermatitis to coal tar in psoriasis. A biopsy test of the eczematous psoriatic areas on the hands of a woman, suffering from arthropatic psoriasis, showed the histology of psoriasis plus spongiosis which confirmed the hypersensitivity to the tar. It is examined that hypersensitivity to tar can develop through a light-mediated mechanism but is rare in existence.
