Eczema is a very irritating skin condition which affects people with patches of itchy, dry skin with different degrees of severity.  While there is no known cure for eczema, patience obtain relief with topical treatments such as corticosteroids, creams and ointments and also UV lamp phototherapy. Phototherapy is treatment with specially designed UV phototherapy lamps and must be prescribed by a doctor to obtain the right type of UV exposure.

Phototherapy for eczema and other dermatitis conditions may be performed in a doctor’s office or with phototherapy lamps in a patient’s home, under a doctor’s direction. UV phototherapy treatment is proven to improve the symptoms of many dermatitis conditions such as eczema, acne, vitiligo and other skin disorders.

How Do Light Therapy Lamps Work? 

UV phototherapy lamps are also called light therapy lamps and are effective by emitting the right wavelength of UV emissions in either UVA, UVB or UVC light.  UVB wavelengths in the narrow band specifically at 310 nm is proven to relieve eczema symptoms. UVA wavelengths may also be used combined with a medication called Psoralen, with a treatment referred to as PUVA.  

It is important to use the right type of UV lamps as regular tanning beds or other types of lamps will not have the right UV emission and could cause more harm than good.
