What must i know before phototherapy for atopic dermatitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Phototherapy: Phototherapy should be used in conjunction with other therapies. It should be reserved for patients with especially severe atopic dermatitis because of potential long term adverse effects, including premature aging of the skin and induction of skin cancer.
