It is a fact proven by the medical field that sunlight does have a healing effect on psoriasis. But a person with this skin condition can’t lay out in the sun for prolonged periods just to cure the disease—there is too much of a risk for skin cancer as well as aging and burning of the skin. These ultraviolet rays must come in some controlled form. That form could be psoriasis lamps. These handy devices have been effective in lessening the presence of psoriasis patches on the skin.

These lamps have become prevalent in use both in clinics or doctor’s offices and in your own home. It is a convenient form of treatment to use in the winter months when your body is not getting many natural ultraviolet rays from the sunshine.

Psoriasis lamps supply you with the light therapy that your affected skin needs. You will usually be using the lamps four or five days per week.

Remember that any of the psoriasis lamps that are approved by the food and Drug Administration and are deemed as medical devices by the experts in that field must be bought with a doctor’s prescription. Furthermore, these lamps must be used only under the professional advice of a physician. Do not attempt to use them without any advice—you could truly injure yourself.

When you begin to treat your psoriasis condition, see that you do not overexpose your skin to these harmful ultraviolet rays. Bear in mind that they are just like the sun’s rays and can produce the same skin conditions as too much of the sun’s rays—cancer, burning, and other skin problems. Also let your physician know about all medications you are taking. You may be using a drug that will magnify the light ray impact on your skin.
