“…A relatively new approach has been the use of UVA therapy, more specifically the UVA rush hardening therapy (UVARH). 63 This UVA rush hardening regimen was initially effectively employed by Beissert et al in the treatment of three individuals with solar urticaria. 64 This elaborate rush regimen also resulted in sustained remissions in five patients with PLD.…”

SummaryDespite the development of highly effective biologics for skin diseases such as psoriasis or atopic dermatitis, UVA and UVB therapy, alone or in combination, are still essential components of various guidelines. Phototherapy is not only a first‐line treatment and highly effective for a number of skin diseases, but is also economical and has few side effects. The targeted use of UVA and UVB, if necessary, in combination with the photosensitizer psoralen in the context of PUVA therapy, enables the dermatologist to effectively treat a wide variety of skin diseases. Indications for phototherapy include epidermal diseases such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and vitiligo, as well as photodermatoses, mycosis fungoides, graft‐versus‐host disease and deep dermal diseases such as scleroderma. This article reviews the physical principles, molecular mechanisms, current treatment regimens, and individual indications for phototherapy and photochemotherapy.

ZusammenfassungDie Therapie oder Kombinationstherapie mit UV‐A‐ oder UV‐B‐Strahlen ist trotz der Entwicklung hochwirksamer Biologika bei Hauterkrankungen wie Psoriasis oder atopischer Dermatitis nach wie vor unverzichtbarer Bestandteil verschiedener Leitlinienempfehlungen. Die Phototherapie ist nicht nur eine sehr effektive Erstlinientherapie bei verschiedenen Hauterkrankungen, sondern auch kostengünstig und nebenwirkungsarm. Der gezielte Einsatz von UV‐A und UV‐B, gegebenenfalls auch in Kombination mit dem Photosensibilisator Psoralen im Rahmen einer PUVA‐Therapie, ermöglicht dem Dermatologen eine effektive Behandlung verschiedener Hautkrankheiten. Indikationen für die Phototherapie sind epidermale Erkrankungen wie die atopische Dermatitis, die Psoriasis und die Vitiligo, ferner Photodermatosen, die Mycosis fungoides, die Graft‐versus‐Host‐Erkrankung sowie tiefe dermale Erkrankungen wie die Sklerodermie. Dieser Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die physikalischen Grundlagen, die molekularen Mechanismen, die derzeitigen Behandlungsmethoden und die einzelnen Indikationen für die Phototherapie und die Photochemotherapie.

The photodermatoses are a diverse group of conditions in which abnormal responses to light exposure are the hallmark. Photodiagnostic investigations through a specialist unit may be essential to ensure accurate diagnosis and management, and this chapter explores the nature of the photodermatoses and the photodiagnostic techniques that can be applied. Management approaches include early diagnosis, prevention and disease suppression, and awareness of the significant adverse impact on well‐being and psychological health that can occur with photosensitivity. Photoprotection is a mainstay approach for the photodermatoses but is often not sufficient alone for disease control. Desensitisation through natural hardening or light‐based therapies may be feasible, although systemic immunosuppressants and immunomodulators may be required. Awareness of the possibility of vitamin D deficiency is also necessary. This chapter will cover these approaches in detail.
