what are the risks for uv phototherapy
Type:Uv phototherapy Time:2016-09-09 10:25:17In the correct hands, phototherapy for psoriasis is very safe, with
little or no side effects. Uncommonly seen side effects include mild
sunburn like reactions, and itchy skin that may last for a few days.
The current standard is that up to 300 treatments of nbUVB phototherapy can be performed without any increase in skin cancer.
On
the side of caution, patients with a personal or direct family history
of melanoma are usually excluded from phototherapy. Additionally,
patients with sun sensitive skin conditions such as lupus are excluded
from this treatment.
