Suggest Treatment For Mycosis Fungoides
Hi my mum is suffering from mycosis fungoides and has been receiving various treatments including the latest light therapy treatment which she has been having twice a week for one 1min per session - it has burnt her legs so badly that she had to go to the hospital today due to severe pain - is there any other solution for her?

Hi,
The treatment of mycosis fungoides is light therapy, radiation, chemotherapy, corticosteroids to name a few.
Depending upon the severity your doctor will decide the treatment.
In case of severe pain in the treated area, I suggest you visit the doctor for a thorough review and further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
