UVB exposure for medical reasons, is it safe?

Now I have psoriasis and some time ago this year, my doctor decided to put me in this UVB booth thing. I go in it every monday & thursday for about 8 mins. I don't really wear sunscreen, except for my face.

Like most medical treatments, there are benefits and risks. These should have been explained to you before starting treatment. Benefits of UVB for psoriasis are wide spread areas of treatment, no toxicity to the body, only twice weekly treatment, avoidance of side effects of other treatments like topical steroids. The risks include sunburn, risk of future skin cancer, no benefit to joints, hard to treat scalp and skin fold areas. The sunscreen will block treatment on the face, but if there is no psoriasis there the sunscreen should be worn. UVB is safe and widely used, but not without some risk. The risk vs benefit must be weighed.

Zoo Med AvianSun UVA/UVB Bulb 5.0 UVB $28.99 Special UVA and UVB compact fluorescent lamp for use with all captive birds. UVB allows birds to synthesize Vitamin D3 in their skin. UVA helps to curb feather picking and other destructive behaviors. This self-ballasted compact fluorescent lamp from Zoo Med allows you to provide your birds with true full spectrum light, including UVB and UVA, just like they get in nature! This unique light provides birds with safe levels of beneficial UVB and UVA for physical and psychological health. UVB enables birds to synthesize Vitamin D3 for proper calcium metabolism, which is necessary for normal growth, maintenance of strong bones, and egg production. UVA is visible to birds, enabling them to recognize mates, locate food, and identify different species. Without UVA, birds are essentially colorblind! Made with special UV transmitting quartz glass.

Reptisun 5.0 UVB (24 inch) $26.25 20 watts. Contains the highest amounts of both UVB and UVA wavelengths (according to an independent laboratory spectral analysis.) The UVB wavelength helps to prevent or reverse Metabolic Bone Disease in green iguanas as well as other species of lizards in captivity. Strengthens and improves shell growth on all captive turtles and tortoises. UVA wavelength increases appetite and physical activity. It helps to induce reproductive behaviors and is beneficial to the psychological well-being of captive reptiles and amphibians. Safer than adding powdered or liquid synthetic D3 supplements, as the UVB wavelength allows all reptiles the ability to regulate their own Vitamin D3 levels by endogenous synthesis as they would in nature! Eliminates the risk of vitamin D3 overdose (highly toxic) from synthetic sources. Wavelength penetrates a full 10-12" from the bulb's surface. We use pure quartz glass sleeves. The bulb's UVA/UVB wavelength remains effective for 1 to 1-1/2 years. (Replace bulbs yearly).
