Methods 90 cases of photosensitive skin diseases in our hospital from January 2014 to June 2016 were selected as the research object, and divided into two groups randomly, 45 cases in each group. The control group was treated with hirudoid ointment, while the observation group was treated with tacrolimus ointment. The clinical total efficiency, pruritus score, lesion score, life quality score, and the occurrence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups. Results The total effective rate in the observation group after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment were 82.22% and 95.56% respectively, those in the control group were 60.00% and 80.00%, with statistically significant differences between the two groups (P 0.05).
