Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Barbara If your question was about light treatment for itching, I don't know how taking antibiotics affects your ability to have UV/B treatments. Anytime you are exposed to such lights, you have to be carefully monitored. When I started them, I was exposed for only 12 seconds, and then it slowly increased. I do know that different meds affect how you react to the sun so talking to a dermatologists is an absolute. It also depends on your skin type, age, previous exposures, etc. I am very fair, and have never been able to tan, so I gave up sitting in the sun when I was a kid. I think I was a bit more sensitive than many others. The itching stopped after 5 weeks of treatments, 2 or 3 times a week, so it was maybe 15 treatments, then I got a bad kidney infection(not related to the lights) and landed in the hospital for several weeks so the treatments stopped, but the itch didn't come back. That is my experience MizKit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
