Yes, I continue with phototherapy and apply steroid cream to lesions. However, I cease steroid treatment as soon as particular lesions become less "angry" in appearance, ie, begin to fade.

I also limit phototherapy frequencies and exposure times when overall lesions begin to fade. I am experiencing the side effects of long term NB-UVB treatments, ie, photoaging, xerosis, actinic damage, pruritis and photocarcinogenesis (only basil cell so far).

Thank you for the info. What precisely is the appliance you use which has narrow band UVB?
What do you think of UVB infusions?
