Abstract: A treatment for inflammatory dermatoses, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (eczema), is disclosed that utilizes topical administration of a halogenated xanthene, such as rose bengal, together with administration of one or more complementary targeted systemic dermatology therapies, preferably a therapy that addresses the inflammatory pathway and is other than an NSAID that is a COX-1 and/or COX-2 inhibitor. Examples of complementary targeted systemic therapeutic ingredients include: corticosteroids, including betamethasone dipropionate and fluocinonide; dithranol; vitamin D analogs, including calcipotriol; and retinoids, non-biologics including methotrexate, ciclosporin, hydroxycarbamide, and fumarates including dimethyl fumarate; as well as one or more biologics, including antibodies or paratope-containing antibody portions to TNF-?, antibodies to pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-12, interleukin-23 and interleukin-17, and TNF inhibitors.
