Abstract
Phototherapy (UV-A and UV-B) has become one of the most commonly used modalities for the treatment of a variety of skin diseases, although the action mechanisms have not been fully understood. Inhibition of DNA synthesis by UV radiation may be one of the therapeutic effects in proliferating skin diseases; however, phototherapy is also used for the treatment of allergic or autoimmune diseases.
