When do you stop UVB treatment?

Treatment is normally stopped as soon as the skin is clear and an “average” first course of UVB for psoriasis lasts roughly 2-3 months. The treatment does not work for everyone and in that case treatment would be stopped. During the actual treatment protective eye goggles must be worn at all times in the cabinet.

How many times can you have phototherapy?

A rare complication (bronze baby syndrome) occurs in some infants with cholestatic jaundice when treated with phototherapy. With exposure to phototherapy lamps, these infants develop a dark, gray-brown discoloration of skin, urine, and serum.

How do I know if phototherapy is working?

Checking to see if phototherapy is working The level of bilirubin in your baby's blood will need to be checked with a blood test every 4–6 hours after starting phototherapy to see if the treatment is working.
