Yes I’ve tried it and once I got up to 5 min. it worked, but the side effects are skin cancers. I stopped and the itch returned within days.

I use a tanning bed 3x a week and find it does help me. I put coconut balm on my skin before tanning. The tanning helps with the ugly scars eczema leaves behind and if you stay on top of it, you'll find the itch goes away too. This is only from MY experience.

My insurance would not cover it but my Dr. did refer me to a company, https://www.natiocorp.com. They were helpful however the price was high. I ended up buying a device on Amazon for about $300. It is a handheld photo therapy light wand. I have only used it for seconds at a time and was told to gradually build up time so as not to burn the skin. I really cant tell if it has helped or not. I seem to be having a flare right now and nothing is working well. I was just curious if anyone had results from the light.
