Hello

[jiml]

You were saying you have had 16 treatments and are only up to one minute that seems very short, are you seeing any benefit?
And what time did they start you on?

They started me at 10 seconds. It was a very long trip for 10 seconds! I have seen some improvements but they are small. My leg is clear, my elbows, stomach and back are better and my scalp, neck and ears vary... they seem better some days and not much better on others. I still have a LOT of itching and scales on scalp, ears and neck but I do think it is less than when I started the light treatment and the acitretin it just hasn't been a big improvement there yet. I have been able to move my score down from 21 to 15 so that's good. It's just being a really slow process.

That's good that you are monitoring your score and yes it will be a slow process .
Working on what you have said they are just giving you an additional 2 seconds a day, is that every other day or at what frequency are you being treated,

It's so long since I had the treatment I can't remember all the detail but I think my maximum was around 10 minutes.
Perhaps as you get used to it they will crank it up in bigger steps
I do remember sporting a great tan and I always asked for my treatment to begin in April or May so I was clear for part of the summer
