The mean age of the patients was 32+/- 19.4 years. None of the patients mentioned a positive family history. Six (75%) of the PRP patients suffered from Type I and two patients (25%) from Type III. Five patients (62.5%) were completely, cured, all treated with RETINOIDS, and three patients (37.5%) were partially cured, all treated with METHOTREXATE.
