Summary

Chronic plaque psoriasis, or psoriasis vulgaris, is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by well demarcated, erythematous, scaly plaques on the extensor surfaces of the body and scalp. The lesions may occasionally itch or sting, and may bleed when injured. Dystrophic nail changes or nail pitting are found in more than one third of people with chronic plaque psoriasis, and psoriatic arthropathy occurs in 1% to more than 10%. The condition waxes and wanes, with wide variations in course and severity among individuals.

Bee venom phonophoresis

Bee venom gel preparation with low freq ultrasound Bee venom solution (100 mg/mL) that was prepared and preserved at the correct temperature was purchased from the Egyptian Organization for Biological Products \& Vaccines (Vacsera). The solution was a mix of a crude form of BV dissolved in sterile normal saline with a concentration ratio of 1:1 vol/vol. Then, the BV gel was prepared at the laboratories of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Modern University, Cairo, Egypt, by dissolving the previous mixture in 10% propylene glycol, followed by the addition of 0.01% butylparaben. To make bee venom gel, the resulting mixture was mixed with the matrix. The BV gel had a homogeneous and translucent appearance and a pH of 7.53. There was no discoloration, phase separation, or off-putting odor. Stratification was not observed after 30 min of centrifugation at 2,500 rpm at 25◦C, used with low frequency ultrasound Device: low intensity ultrasound
