Home UVB light treatment without Doctor/Derm

I've tidied up the thread for you and moved your last image with the others, now you have found a way of showing them. Sorry to have been a bit off at first but we do sometimes get problems with people wanting to post spam.

Going back to this lamp and your question. I personally would recommend you seek professional advice from a dermatologist rather than go it alone, I'm not saying the lamp is no good but it is something that should be moderated professionally and using lamps wrongly can lead to serious problems later on in life.

You can get light treatment for free on the NHS and it will be far better than your lamp and you will be monitored.

Just my opinion.

Thanks for the advice.  I think I'm still going to give it a try.  I will probably visit the doctors after a couple of weeks and let them know what I'm doing see what there advice is.  None of the docs at my local surgery think my psoriasis is bad enough to be referred to a dermatologist.  I also don't think it would be considered bad enough to warrant NHS UVB treatment.  Also the time and travel costs for visiting a hospital for treatment probably put me off going down this route.

Good luck and let us know how it goes! But do start slowly as a precaution.
