Abstract
Conventional photodynamic therapy is associated with inconveniently long clinic visits and discomfort during therapy. Daylight‐photodynamic therapy (DL‐PDT) is an effective treatment, nearly pain free and more convenient for both the clinics and patients. There are no published studies of methylene blue (MB) as a photosensitizer (PS) used in DL‐PDT.
