I happen to own a NB UVB lamp (Narrow Band UV B) for treating psoriasis. This is a powerful & dangerous lamp – 60 seconds on a “virgin” patch of skin will burn it (similar to burning from arc welding). Just like tanning, you need to start low and build up as your skin gets used to the light. In other words, this is not like the nail polish dryer lamps I read about. Anyway I have 1 finger nail that became infected with a fungus twice before. Don’t know why only this nail. This time I tried the UV lamp, going with a 40 second exposure (up close). Your hands are more used to sunlight so there was no burning. Within a week I could see the difference. I did a session about every 3rd to 4th day, and it disappeared at the speed of the nail growing out. Benefits are (apart from not taking systemic medicine) that it gets the whole nail, and since the fungus is eating from the far end, it works much faster than the medicine which has to be embedded into the nail from the nailbed side, and thus takes many weeks to reach the fungus. (and no, I am not confusing psoriasis with fungus on my nail)
