A randomised controlled trial of topical Kanuka honey for the treatment of psoriasis
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are anecdotal reports of topical honey being effective in the treatment of psoriasis but no clinical trials as a single agent. One study reported use of a honey, beeswax and olive oil mixture alone and in combination with topical steroids, and suggested that this mixture may be effective for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. We report a pilot study of the acceptability and feasibility of topical medical grade Kanuka honey for the treatment of psoriasis.
