My daughter has follicular mycosis fungoides and has only had a slight reoccurrance of patches on her body since she had puva over a year ago now but these past few day patches have been appearing on her face thick and fast and as soon as steroid is put on another appears what is happening here? Will she need some more light box therapy ?

Hi thanks for writing here.Treatment for Mycosis fungoides involves many approches.A treating doctor decides it by seeing pateint's profile.Most common treatment forms are topical steroids,phototherapy,retinoids ,chemotherapy,etc.All of treatment can just induce remission and relapse are common.It is better you go for phototherapy once more.It will definately put her in remission.Take care.
