Abstract

5-Aminolaevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) is an effective therapy for cutaneous diseases, such as precancers, superficial non melanoma skin cancers and certain inflammatory or viral conditions. However, the absence of a complete picture of adverse reactions limits the promotion of ALA-PDT.
