A member asked:
How effective is phototherapy for curing atopic dermatitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treatment not cure: Phototherapy will likely bring about improvement( it did in 81% of patients in one study), but when the treatments are stopped, the symptoms will gradually recur. To continue to receive benefits, a maintenance program is necessary.
