I've been recommended by a few people now in this group to use a UVB lamp and red light for my chronic dry skin/eczema..
Before I invest in one could anyone please provide as much information as possible on these in terms of safety of home use, Quality of the UVB lamp, Links to UVB lamps being sold in the UK.. how often you use it, can they be used long term, is a UVB lamp just the same as the sun just without the UVA ray? Is there any side effects or negatives to a UVB lamp? E.g looking into it I've heard that home use is not safe and you should closely be monitored when using one, and also, some of these online nought uvb lamps have a 'bad' quality bulb(in comparison to the ones on the NHS etc..) I figured that being in the Uk a uvb lamp would be great for the vit D anyway but would love all your opinions on them as I'm only 18 and my mother thinks their unsafe etc etc thanks so much guys!
