    anything about the treatment?

    I searcheed, and a lot of them were about red or blue light stuff (which to me who has not spent eenough time looking into feels like snake oil bullshit), then there is some uv a and uv b treatment to get rid of some skin infection, which still does not seem like a good idea (it works a disinfectant much to similar to fire i guess, hurts both your cells as well as pathogen), though i guess controlled exposure to certain organs may lead to some benefit i guess.

    wiki page is not that large, but suggests help in Vit D3 production (proxy for sun i guess in places where sun is hard to come by), and also that risks to developing cancer by mutation are not high, so i guess it is not very dangerous, but still feels like anything beyond disinfection is placebo.
