Efficacy of Ω‐3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids for the Treatment of Refractory Hydroa Vacciniforme

Abstract

Hydroa vacciniforme (HV) is a rare photodermatosis. Several therapies, with sometimes severe side effects, have been used in isolated cases. We report a case of refractory HV successfully treated with dietary fish oil rich in ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
