Is Taking Blu-U Light Treatment Advisable While On Plaquenil?
My dermatologist has recommended a BLU-U treatment for precancerous areas on my face.I take Plaquenil for auto immune issues, which makes me sensitive to the sun...Will the light they use for the Blu-U treatment cause severe burning from the use of plaquenil?

Hello,
You can safely continue BLU-U Blue Light Treatment while on Plaquenil. Plaquenil and UV treatment does not interact with each other or does not cause pain or burning sensation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
Regards,
