Dermatol Ther. 2020 Mar;33(2):e13207. doi: 10.1111/dth.13207. Epub 2020 Jan 8.

Abstract

Verruca plana is a kind of benign proliferative skin disease that generally occurs in exposed parts, but the treatment of warts poses a therapeutic challenge for physicians, as there is no method, among numerous approaches, that has been proven effective for completely curing this disease. We report a case of verruca plana cured by narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB), which provides a new treatment of verruca plana.

Keywords: NB-UVB; verruca plana.
