UVB genital area

Hello I have psoriasis patches on my penis head. I got a hand held uvb lamp. How long do I use this and for how many days a week?

I wouldn't be using uvb there. Ask your GP or derm for some cream,

Hi Chelsea786, Please be very careful when using a UVB lamp at home, especially in sensitive areas. Please consult your dermatologist about this for more advice. There may be alternative treatments for these areas. Best wishes, Georgia

The groin area has very thin skin. UVB is (strongly) not recommended for the old twig and berries. As above, ask a doc for a cream or biologic (injection).
