Has anyone used a tanning bed to help with your psoriasis and has it helped?

It's the only thing that works for me...40 years as a sufferer n only sunbed or hospital uvb treatment works..as long as u don't abuse it and check your skin for moles etc I would recommend
Good luck

Any sort of ultra violet will help,but the targeted narrow band uvb machines are the ones used in hospital.
I have used these to varying degrees of success.
The tanning machines in salons are not the narrow band type.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Natural Mediterranean sun always helps me.
Best wishes and success.

I did when I had a bad break out and did 6 sessions, cleared it all up

Yes, absolutely. It is almost like a miracle. I usually only do about 6 mins. In the winter, 2-3 times a week. In the summer less, because then I lay out in the sun. Not excessively.
