title: Living with psoriasis: a patient case study.
abstract: In summary, this patient has had a very positive experience with his UVB phototheapy treatment. The flaking of the skin has stopped which has made him less conscious in social situations and he is much more comfortable around other people. Being able to observe the improvement in his psoriasis through photography has increased the patient’s confidence and he hopes that the improvement in his condition will continue.
