I'm with Jim on the UV. I've had three sessions two off UVB, one off UVA. The UVA type you have to take a tablet two hours before hand to sensitise your skin to the UV. With  me only the first UVB did any good and that only gave me about 5 weeks of change. The reduction in PS was about 50%. Here in the UK we are very closely monitored when we are perscribed UV. We have a lifetime allocation and it amounts to about 4 1/2 sessions (1 session = 2x week for 8 - 12 weeks). There is a risk as with any exposure to UV radiation of developing cancer. I am not saying discount it but you have to be really careful if you are self treating at home.
