Popis: From the beginning of the enthusiasm for the use of furocoumarin compounds to promote tanning in the treatment of vitiligo, or in promoting tolerance in persons who tolerate actinic rays poorly, the testimonial evidence of enthusiastic users suggested that we were dealing with an extremely potent tanning agent. Tanning through this discussion, refers to melanin pigmentation and not to tanning in the chemical sense of alteration of proteins such as used in the preparation of leather.
