hi, Lexi

what treatment regime helps 1 does not mean it helps all

we all different peps= skin types     ? was a patch test run first

light treatments across the range from grenz to nb-uvb to laser can sometimes excaberbate p
! and sometimes it gets worse before it clears


? have any topical & moisturiser been prescribed to run in conjunction with the light treatment


best to get a review  and a prognoses from your derm
