Hi Sam I can understand why you would want to buy a UVB lamp but if you do please take great care as it could be damaging your skin and the benefit is short term, I will agree with Dave that you should get a referral to a dermatologist, he can offer you treatment that can give you long term clearance and with monitoring be really safe
You asked earlier about Fumaderm and did it lower your immune system .....it can lower your white blood count ( which is reversible on tweaking with the dose) I have been on it over four and a half years and I have less illnesses than I had before I started taking it....so I doubt it is likely to make you susceptible to more illness , although like all the drugs it does need monitoring
If you see a dermatologist ask their opinion of home UVB treatment, I know my dermatologist frowns on it because it's impossible to monitor it the same as in a hospital ....and you are just treating the skin not the cause of the disease .
There are many things a dermatologist can offer which will be less costly to you than a lamp and safer while you are being monitored
