ABSTRACT
Dear It has been sometime since we saw you to follow up on your home phototherapy treatments. You should see your dermatologist every six months to evaluate your skin condition, any possible damage to your skin from the ultraviolet light treatments, and the need for continued treatment. If you have not seen your dermatologist in the last six months, you should stop using your home UV box. Home ultraviolet treatments may have side-effects such as allergic reactions, burning of the skin, a possible increased risk of skin cancer, increased aging of the skin, including wrinkles, freckles, loss of skin tone, and color changes, and other less common side-effects. Therefore follow-up treatments are recommended for your protection. Please feel free to call our office if you have any questions or need to schedule an appointment.
