    UVB Phototherapy, also known as Ultraviolet B Therapy, is a medical treatment that uses a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light (UVB) to treat various skin conditions, including psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo.

It is administered under controlled conditions, typically in a clinical setting, to minimize the risk of skin damage.
