• Phototherapy has been shown to be extremely safe and effective in controlling psoriasis. You and your physician will need to discuss how to use UVB light to keep your skin and scalp in remission with minimal side effects. People who undergo phototherapy should visit their dermatologist at regular intervals (every 6 months or as directed by your physician) for a complete skin examination.
