Abstract

We read with interest the short paper describing, and commend the authors on sharing their experience the continued use of phototherapy in COVID-19 affected Italy. Phototherapy is undoubtedly a long-established, relatively safe means of reducing the burden of inflammatory skin disease avoiding large doses of immunosuppression. Home phototherapy devices and services have a long-established use in many countries throughout the world, as described in previous issues of this journal.
