Complications of Skin Phototherapy
Phototherapy is an essential option for adults in the treatment of certain skin diseases such as psoriasis, a chronic, non-communicable disease known for its reddish, inflamed lesions with silvery, or sometimes whitish, scales of dead skin. Phototherapy can also treat cases of atopic dermatitis, a chronic, skin problem characterized by skin inflammation and itchiness, as well as vitiligo, the loss of skin cells responsible for skin color, resulting in white patches on the skin. While skin phototherapy is useful, it may cause complications.
