Abstract
We describe a patient with chronic actinic dermatitis whose photopatch tests revealed reactions to musk ketone and musk ambrette, both of which were found in his aftershave lotion. Minimal erythema doses of UVA and UVB were decreased. After initial unsuccessful treatment with PUVA therapy the patient was successfully treated with a combination of cyclosporine and PUVA.
