Wet wrap dressings provide an ancillary treatment option for erythrodermic
patients. Wet wrap therapy consists of the application of topical
corticosteroids on all affected surfaces, followed by the application of a warm
moist cotton cloth with a dry cotton cloth on top. The advantages of this
procedure include its safety, as well as the prompt and marked improvement of
the erythroderma. For erythrodermic psoriasis, wet wrap dressings can serve as
an important rescue therapy option. The purpose of this study is to report a
case series of seven patients with erythrodermic psoriasis that responded
promptly to wet wrap therapy prior to the initiation of systemic treatment.
