Skin Cancer Treatments: The New Superstar. For years we've recommended Raspberry Skin Cream as one of the better creams to use for skin cancers. Better because it didn't cause pain or other issues when using it. But now there is a much more powerful treatment that is changing our recommendation.
PUVA (psoralen and ultraviolet A radiation) treatment has been used for decades to treat severe psoriasis. In this combination therapy, the psoralen, taken internally, acts as a skin sensitizer.The sensitized skin affected by psoriasis can then be treated by ultraviolet A radiation.UVA is also of benefit in treating vitiligo, mycosis fungoides (cutaneous T-cell lymphoma), and graft versus host disease. The most common form of therapy combines 8-methoxypsoralen taken by mouth followed 45-60 minutes later by exposure of the skin to UVA.
