  • To avoid skin dryness and irritation, use mild, fragrance-free moisturizers.
  • Avoid harsh soaps, chemical peels, and irritant cosmetics that could exacerbate skin sensitivity.
  • Protect the treated areas by avoiding unnecessary sun exposure, especially after PUVA therapy, and by wearing hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing.

Lifestyle changes:

  • Since the skin becomes extremely sensitive to UV radiation during treatment, wear sunglasses, sunscreen, and protective clothes to prevent excessive sun exposure.
  • To promote skin healing and general health, control stress, get enough sleep, and abstain from alcohol and tobacco.
