SUMMARY Fifteen out of twenty‐three female patients (65%) receiving PUVA therapy showed signs of moderate to severe hypertrichosis. Only two out of fourteen patients (14%) on UV‐A therapy without systemic psoralens developed hypertrichosis. We conclude that hypertrichosis may develop in many patients treated with photochemotherapy.
