Little is known about commercial tanning bed use in psoriasis sufferers. 1 Given that psoriasis improves with ultraviolet (UV) exposure, it is likely that patients self administer treatment via commercial tanning beds. Our cross-sectional study quantified tanning bed usage and whether tanning behaviors result in addictive-like tanning disorders in psoriasis patients.An online questionnaire was sent to subscribers of National Psoriasis Foundation email-list serve (February–April 2014; c. 14,000 individuals). Questions included demographics, psoriasis history, and UV usage. 1932 respondents were analyzed. Of 1830 that answered queries regarding tanning bed use, 34%(n= 617) had used tanning beds consistent with 36% in studies of the general population, 2 and 28%(n= 512) were current users. Respondents who tanned were younger, diagnosed with psoriasis when younger, and predominantly female (p< 0.0001 for all).
