    The cancerous skin lesions refer to damaged cutaneous tissues with risks of further developing into skin cell carcinoma. [31] Skin carcinoma, or skin cancer, is very common in sun-radiation-abundant areas. The over-exposure to sunlight is the most prevalent cause that leads to Actinic keratosis (AK), a common cancerous cutaneous lesion.

    This reduces the treatment time, makes the treatment more effective, and enables the use of a weaker psoralen. The physician and physiotherapists can choose a starting dose of UV based on the patient's skin type. The UV dose will be increased in every treatment until the skin starts to respond, normally when it becomes a little bit pink.

    To date, there is no link between an increase in a patient's risk of skin cancer and the proper use of narrow-band UVB phototherapy. [1] [2] "Proper use" is generally defined as reaching the "Sub-Erythemic Dose" (S.E.D.), the maximum amount of UVB your skin can receive without burning. Certain fungal growths under the toenail can be treated ...

    Light therapy, also called phototherapy or bright light therapy is the exposure to direct sunlight or artificial light at controlled wavelengths in order to treat a variety of medical disorders, including seasonal affective disorder (SAD), circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, cancers, and skin wound infections.

    Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun can lead to melanoma and other skin malignancies. [4] Clear evidence establishes ultraviolet radiation, especially the non-ionizing medium wave UVB, as the cause of most non-melanoma skin cancers, which are the most common forms of cancer in the world.

    [43] [failed verification] UVC is the highest-energy, most-dangerous type of ultraviolet radiation, and causes adverse effects that can variously be mutagenic or carcinogenic. [44] Despite the importance of the sun to vitamin D synthesis, it is prudent to limit the exposure of skin to UV radiation from sunlight [45] and from tanning beds. [46]
