Foerster, Boswell, West, et al. studied the effectiveness of phototherapy when removing the use of steroid creams and others with the same purpose. “In conclusion, we show that NB-UVB treatment leads to both a major sustained improvement as well as significant reduction in topical treatments in approximately 75% of patients treated for psoriasis. The data support efforts to increase access for this treatment.”
