I tried it many many years ago and it did help, but the way they do it today is a lot better. Some say it works well, but I don't think it's a long term solution. Having said that if the light gets it down you may be able to keep on top off it with the odd bit of creams.
I see Jim has pointed you to the prescribed treatments, I would have a good read through and arm yourself with some information on where to go next. It's all about finding the right treatment that works for you, good luck with the light treatment and do pop back and let us know how it's going as your input could help others in the future.
As for your self esteem, you are not alone and it's not your fault that you have psoriasis. I would suggest trying to talk openly with family and friends about it, the more you hide it the worse your self esteem will be but you may be surprised how supportive others are around you if they know. Point people to Psoriasis Club and tell them to have a read, if anyone gives back bad comments just remind them that "Anyone can get psoriasis at any time and they could be next"
You are not alone here and will find a lot of support so dive on in, we are not medical professionals but our members have a wide ranging experience and we know how you feel.
