Abstract
We describe a 48-year-old woman who had worsening psoriasis, photosensitive reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM), and acne rosacea. The psoriasis was unresponsive to etretinate, and the REM was unsuccessfully treated with hydroxychloroquine. Cyclosporine (6 mg/kg/day) successfully cleared the psoriasis in 8 weeks but did not improve the REM and acne rosacea. Possible causes for the lack of response of the REM to cyclosporine are discussed.
