Phototherapy for psoriasis

[kclalwani]

Hello Karl,

Welcome to the forum.

We are a nice bunch of people, we will try to say the things we think with respect for the others.
Sometimes that may sound a bit blunt or harsh, but be sure, that is not how it is ment.

Indeed I heard that phototherapy works. Have not had it myself. But indeed the effect is limited in the sense that it is coming back, the psoriasis, that is because psoriasis is an immune diseases it is not a skin condition.
Therefore using vitamin D is very good for you, and being in the sun is also very good.

If I were you, I would schedule down your expectations of the homeopathy. The homeopathy clinic is probably wrong. Over here on the forum we have not yet heard of someone that was cured by means of homeopathy.
Surely we hope for you that you will be the first one.
So come back and tell us how things are going. Come back anyway if your want to have a chat.

Cheers,
Caroline

Thanks for all the info Carol

I honestly do not believe in homeopathy either, but the only reason I started this was because the topical steroid creams, the clobex spray did not work, Ive been using it since Feb 2014 and it only got worse since then. The derm mentioned that phototheraphy is the last treatment, since nothing else worked. I dont mind going for that, hell, I could book an appointment for tomorrow. Its just the side effects that worries me- skin ageing, sun burn etc etc which might be bad in the long run if I have to rely on this treatment for the rest of my life

I will continue to use the meds from the homeopathy clinic for a month hoping for a change. If nothing, then will definitely go for the light treatment. WIll let you know how it goes

Jim, thanks for your info as well. I'm here for inputs so anything you say will be helpful and I really appreciate that.
