Dead Sea climatotherapy is highly effective in the treatment of psoriasis. However, its potential side effects, especially the risk of skin cancer, are unclear. This Multicenter controlled cross-sectional study was carried out Lit the Dead Sea Solarium Clinic and outpatient clinics of the participating centers. A total of 1198 participants (460 patients with psoriasis and 738 control patients) aged 20 to 70 years were included. A standard questionnaire including demographic parameters and sun exposure habits was administered to all participants. Patients were questioned about previous psoriatic treatments and climatotherapy at the Dead Sea. All participants underwent a structured physical examination of the skin. We compared the prevalence of solar damage for patients with psoriasis and control patients and assessed the extent of photodamage among patients with psoriasis according to exposure time at the Dead Sea in univariate and multivariate analyses.

The Dead Sea is the only place in the world that combines it all. year-round hot weather, an enriched oxygen atmosphere, therapeutic UVB solar radiation, a mineral-rich salt sea, world famous mineral-rich mud, thermo mineral hot springs and luxurious spas.
