Abstract
Psoriasis vulgaris may be worsened or precipitated by numerous factors, inc
luding hormonal influences. Several lines of evidence suggest that female s
ex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone affect this condition. We des
cribe a patient whose psoriasis responded favorably to administration of th
e antiestrogen compound tamoxifen.
