NGUYEN: The use of ultraviolet light to treat inflammatory skin conditions like vitiligo or chronic itch — it’s a very powerful tool because there’s no ingestion of medication, and you’re using a natural form of therapy to suppress the immune system. Obviously this is something that you use for a very limited time. You don’t want to use it for a long period of time because of the risk with skin cancer and photo-aging. I’m excited because I believe that this patient will respond well to the light therapy.
