Woringer-Kolopp (Pagetoid Reticulosis) Disease Successful Response to Bexarotene Gel

The researchers highlight the limited treatment options for WK disease and present bexarotene gel as a potentially safe and effective alternative to other treatment modalities that may have higher risks of adverse effects.
