SUMMARY Progressive simplification of dithranol therapy has made treatment at home more acceptable. This has included omitting ultra‐violet light, talc and dressings, and substituting an ordinary bath instead of one containing tar. A stiffened dithranol 0.5% ointment was found to be slightly more effective than the best paste hitherto employed. It was also very much easier to use.
