[QUOTE="DaftThoughts, post: 1553169, member: 317436"] Thanks for the info! I looked into it and the opposite is suggested - while it may alleviate some symptoms, it seems to increase the risk for skin cancer. "Research does suggest that the use of ultraviolet light therapy to help heal psoriasis patches may increase the odds of developing squamous cell carcinoma—especially in patients who have at least 250 ultraviolet light therapy treatments." I'm also super pale with a cool (pink) undertone and burn extremely fast, so I limit my sun exposure and wear SPF a lot. (Got a lot of freckles going on when I go out in the sun, too.) [/QUOTE]
