Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes itchy or sore patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales. You usually get the patches on your elbows, knees, scalp, back, face, palms and feet, but they can show up on other parts of your body. Some people who have psoriasis also get a form of arthritis called psoriatic arthritis.  A problem with your immune system causes psoriasis. In a process called cell turnover, skin cells that grow deep in your skin.

effectiveness

 In 20 patients, two stable psoriatic plaques were treated with either blue or red light, three times weekly for four consecutive weeks. To remove scaling that could potentially interfere with penetration of the light into the skin, daily application of 10% salicylic acid in petrolatum was started at the screening visit and continued until the end of the study.  Clinical improvement was seen after treatment with blue as well as after treatment with red light. With respect to scaling and induration. Improvement of erythema, however, continued in blue light irradiated plaques throughout the whole study period, whereas after red light no significant improvement was seen after six illuminations.  The clinical improvement of psoriasis, with respect to erythema, in particular after blue light and to a lesser extent after red light indicates that visible light treatment represents a treatment option for psoriasis.
