Brief Summary:
This study offers narrowband UVB light therapy to patients with both light and dark skin types who have 10 of their body involved with psoriasis vulgaris
Detailed Description:
Two groups of patients having 10 of their body surface area involved with psoriasis vulgaris will receive narrowband phototherapy One group will have skin type I-IV or light skin and the second group will have dark skin or type V-VI
All patients will receive phototherapy with narrowband UVB three times a week for six weeks or a total of 18 treatments 6mm punch skin biopsies will be done prior to starting therapy and at the completion of the study Clinical assessments and photography will be done parallel to the skin biopsies Results clinically and histologically of both groups will be compared
