P.U.V.A.

Hi, does anyone take or know anyone who is currently taking PUVA treatments because it has worked for me in the past, but I can no longer find the drug used with this treatment.

It's going out of use.

The February 2010 issue of the JAAD, Alopecia areata update
Part II. Treatment : McElwee, Shapiro et al.

" Because of the high relapse rates, lack of randomized controlled trials, and the increased risk of skin malignancies with PUVA, this line of therapy has become a less favored treatment option"

Visit my blog at baldgirlsdolunch.org.....it's where I post this kind of update for the alopecia community as quickly as I find it. When it comes to med and research...we're not just for girls!
