Hydroa vacciniforme treated by a combination of beta-carotene and canthaxanthin.

AbstractHydroa vacciniforme is a very rare photodermatosis, commencing in childhood and belonging to the category of idiopathic burns. The inconstancy of the therapeutic results raises the possibility of a clinical syndrome that can have different origins. We present a case that responded very well to carotenoids.
