New here - help needed

Thank you for the response, very helpful. It's seems UV seems to help a lot of people. What are all your views on the skin cancer side of things, does that worry you?

I'll admit that it was a bit worrisome for me.  I did the UV and my dermatologist even suggested I either a) continue to get out in the sun or b) use a tanning bed.  It's not often a dermatologist tells you that.  For me, I grew up getting tanned in the summertime as I lived outdoors (not much on tv at the time and no video games, computers, etc)  Skin cancer wasn't mentioned much back then.  I think it's an individual thing, if your family has a history or if very fair skinned, the risks would be higher for instance.  In some cases, UV light or the sun may be less of a risk than some medications.  So although it's something to be cautious about and try not to burn the skin, I plan on getting some wonderful sun this summer.     My vitamin D is always low so I have to take supplements, I'm also hoping a bit of sunshine will help with that.

Hi Kat!
I am so happy to be free of the ugly rashes!
I made everything to avoid skin cancer risks, and now i am clean,
i had operated two carcinomas on my face, that started to develop before i got UV treatment for my PS that covered almost of my body...
and using the uv-protection can help too.
One more thing - this lamp is especially developed to treat the PS condition. it is not like Florida sun :(((
