I had lost faith in my private skin specialist. So I made an appointment to see the specialist in a government hospital. After a few visits, they suggested me to go for phototherapy as my condition was quite severe. I searched in the internet for treatments using phototherapy and it sounds promising. Phototherapy exposes a patient to ultraviolet (UV) light for a controlled amount of time. I was full of hopes and dreamt this will be the miracle cure I've been searching all my life. After all, I have nothing to loose.
I was on the treatment for a few weeks (3 times weekly). Right after the first exposure, my skin became so inflamed. But I stayed on, for another month hoping that it will cure my eczema. My hopes were dashed .... It had worsen my condition. When I was in Bandung for a holiday (3rd week into the treament), my skin was really in a flareup. The bedsheets in the hotel room was dirtied by my blood. I scrathed will be bled so bad.. As soon as I got back, I went straight to the doctor and had them cancelled my phototherapy session. So there goes my hopes....
