I am still having Narrowband UV light treatment for Psoriasis three times a week. Each day I attend there are another 100+ patients getting the same treatment. One young fellow I have seen there many times is about 7 years of age and has severe Psoriasis affecting his body, face and eyes. This is not his first series of treatments and he has been treated in the last Psoriasis season. I say ‘season’ because for most patients this is an annual problem starting late winter, when it is believed insufficient exposure to sunlight occurs.
A brave young lad who must expect that the condition will return next winter and the whole thing will start over again. This is the second outbreak I have had starting in the winter season and talking to other people getting treatment it would seem that until some new treatment is found, I will return annually.
