Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the usage of phototherapy after the methods developed by Dr. Finsen. It begins by establishing the experimental foundation of the treatment, establishing that its benefits are a consequence of the skin's inflammation and the killing of bacteria. The author then explores the role of light in these processes, demonstrating how light can bring about inflammation and describing the bactericidal effect of light, explaining that the rays which kill bacteria are the same which cause skin inflammation. The author goes on to detail the techniques employed in this method of treatment, including the types of light used, the application of electric light as a substitute for sunlight, and the use of lenses to concentrate the light and cool the skin to prevent burning. The author concludes by presenting case studies that illustrate the effectiveness of this method in treating a variety of skin conditions, including lupus vulgaris, alopecia areata, and epithelioma of the skin. This book represents a significant addition to the field of dermatology, offering a comprehensive guide to the use of phototherapy in the treatment of skin diseases.
