^Exactly. I have eczema too but only a bit, and my doctor said if it got any worse a sunbed might be a good short-term option to clear it up. Obviously using them for too long would just dry up your skin even more... |

I have the dodgiest skin ever, I know all about the treatments available; that doesn't mean I'd go off and use regular sunbeds with no restraint or guidance from doctors . |

| I don't go regularly, I've to go once every two weeks for about 3 months and it's been the only thing that has worked for me. I know my own skin and know what works and what doesn't. My doctor recommended 3 minutes every two weeks for 3 months and I've been going for 2 months and it's been great. |

Of course you need restraint etc but it is a highly effective treatment for Psoriasis, it helps my dad. Clearly I don't know the effects on eczema though. |

Cannabis has many medical uses but I'm not gonna light up a reefer every time I'm feeling a bit poorly, ditto with sunbeds/my skin problems. Obviously if it's prescribed by a doctor it's a completely different matter, but it's dangerous to mess around with self prescription is what I'm saying. |
