PUVA or photochemotherapy is a type of ultraviolet radiation treatment (phototherapy) used for severe skin diseases.
PUVA may be used to treat various skin disorders, including:
- Psoriasis
- Vitiligo
- Eczema or Dermatitis
- Polymorphic light eruption
- Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
The number and the frequency of PUVA treatments will depend on the condition being treated and individual factors
Treatment of different skin conditions
Psoriasis : Psoriasis is a common inherited skin disorder, which may vary considerably in extent and severity. Neither phototherapy nor any other available treatment effects a permanent cure.
Vitiligo : Patients with vitiligo have areas of completely white skin. PUVA can bring about some repigmentation, particularly for vitiligo of the face, and in dark-skinned patients. Results for other body sites and white-skinned patients are less encouraging.
