    Effect on the skin:
    The UV light emitted by the lamp is at 365 nm UVA.
    The lamp does not emit UVC or UVB, so it does not cause sunburn or otherwise damage healthy skin.
    You should not look inside the light.
    You should not direct the light to the eyes of someone else, since this can cause damage to the eyes.
    The lamp emits
    invisible
    high power light.
    You can hardly see the light with your eyes but the UV power is very high.
    Detailed colors:
    Increase in pigmentation (eg, melasma, postinflammatory pigmentation) to determine whether the pigmentation is epidermal or dermal. Pigmented lesions have a clear border under Wood light because the light is absorbed by increased melanin.
    Loss of pigmentation (eg, vitiligo, ash-leaf macules in tuberous sclerosis, and hypomelanosis of Ito) to identify affected areas in light-skinned people.
    Bright blue-white (or sometimes, yellowish green): Hypopigmented skin has sharper borders and fluoresces  due to accumulated biopterins. Areas of reduced blood flow are unchanged.
    Yellowish or orange: Pityriasis versicolor - a slightly scaly persistent rash on anterior chest and back caused by Malassezia yeasts.
    Bluish-white: Malassezia folliculitis -hair follicles .
    Scale and baldness: Tinea capitis - fungal infection.
    Dull blue: Microsporum species fluoresce blue-green (M canis, M audouinii, M ferrugineum, M distortum); Trichophyton schoenleinii -  Fungal infectiondue to other organisms does not fluoresce.
    Head lice and scabies.
    Coral-pink colour: Erythrasma - corynebacteria bacteria cause a pigmented rash in skin folds.
    Green: Pseudomonas in spa pool folliculitis and wound infection.
    Orange-red:  Acne due to cutibacteria in hair follicles.
    Red-pink: Porphyria of the skin (porphyria cutanea tarda), or teeth (erythropoetic porphyria).
    Porphyrins used as the photosensitiser in photodynamic therapy.
    Drugs on the skin surface—tetracyclines and mepacrine fluoresce after oral ingestion.
