Bioptron Hyperlight Therapy was used in combination with cortisone cream and baths to calm the itching. Bioptron Hyperlight Therapy treatments were done once per day, for 10 minutes on each affected area: the back of the left hand, the back of the right hand, the palm of the left hand, the palm of the right hand, the sole of the left foot and the sole of the right foot.

Images 2A and 2B represent the hands of the patient before Bioptron Hyperlight Therapy. The whole hand is very dry and rough and the skin of the palm is peeling. The patient also remarked that the skin underneath such patches was very sensitive and painful to the touch.

Images 2C and 2D show the hands after the entire treatment. The palms of her hands are very smooth, no peeling is observed anymore. Also, the back of her hands is no longer dry and rough, but soft and vivid


As for the feet, the start of the therapy is displayed in Image 3. The right foot (Image 3A) was peeling on the big toe and the sole. Also, the pad of the foot is very dry. The left foot (Image 3B) is peeling at the side of the foot and the skin is very dry. Also, the upper surface of the feet is peeling and the skin is red (Images 3C and 3D).

After the therapy, both feet improved drastically (see Images 3E to 3H). The soles of the feet are very smooth, the skin is not peeling anymore (Images 3E and 3F). Moreover, the surface of the feet has changed from reddish and peeling into smooth and shining skin. Furthermore, the feet are no longer inflamed and the swelling has disappeared (Figure 3G and 3H).
