Method

Ethical approval:
not specified
Details on study design:
15 healthy human volunteers between 18 and 60 years of age of skin type II or IIi (II sensitive, III normal) with known mediacl history and filled out an Informed Consent Form were exposed at the lower back to the substance under occlusion during a 24 hour period, followed by irridiation with 0.5 MED of UVB and thereafter by 20 Joules of UVA. Three sites at the lowere back (free of sunburn, suntan, scars, dermal lesions and uneven skintones) were either not exposed and irridiated, exposed and irridiated and exposed and not irridiated. 24 and 48 hours after irridiation the minimal erythemal dose (MED) was determined. This dose is defined as the lowest time interval or dosage sufficient to induce defined erythema.
