    Glossary Psoralen and Ultraviolet A Therapy

    combines a drug and UVA light to treat skin conditions

    Psoralen and Ultraviolet A Therapy (PUVA) is a type of photochemotherapy used to treat various skin conditions, including psoriasis, vitiligo, and certain types of eczema. The treatment involves taking a drug called psoralen, which makes the skin more sensitive to ultraviolet A (UVA) light, followed by exposure to UVA light. This combination helps to slow down the excessive growth of skin cells and can reduce symptoms like itching and inflammation.
