Abstract
Psoriasis is a proliferative and inflammatory skin disorder characterized by epidermal hyperplasia and changes in the cutaneous microvasculature. Common treatment modalities include corticosteroid and UVB therapy. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and fluorescence excitation spectroscopy (FES) are noninvasive methods to follow changes in the microvasculature and skin fluorophores of psoriasis lesions with treatment.
