Psoriasis on the skin of the back in a 24-year-old female patient during the eighth treatment with UVB light. Psoriasis is caused by excessive skin production resulting in red scaly patches and inflammation, here affecting more than 10 percent of the body. The treatment here resulted in a reduction of the PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) score by 90 percent (PASI 90). For a sequence showing the treatment, see images C010/3366 to C010/3368.
