Treatments for phobia usually fall under exposure therapy, which is the gradual exposure to the feared stimuli until the anxiety associated with it decreases. It should be noted that exposure therapy should only be given by an experienced practitioner.
Typically psychiatrists use exposure therapy to reduce anxiety in social situations. See the related link below for more information on exposure therapy.
However, a number of therapies such as cognitive-behavior therapy, group therapy, and exposure therapy are showing promise.

illega exposure
before sun exposure you are your normal skin tone/color.
The first step is to admit that you have a problem as it relates to others. But remember, we all have strengths and weakness and hiding your weaknesses takes up more energy than it does to work to overcome them or learn to live with them. The most frequently used form of therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and systematic desensitization or exposure therapy. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 75% of people with specific phobias overcome their fears through cognitive-behavioral therapy. In desensitization or exposure therapy, you are exposed in a safe and controlled way to the object or situation you fear. The most commonly used exposure therapy involves gradual encounters with the fear-producing object, first in the imagination and then in reality. Through repeated experiences facing your fear, you begin to realize that the situation, while possibly unpleasant, is not harmful. With each exposure, you feel an increasing sense of control over your phobia. This sense of control over the situation and yourself is the most important benefit of exposure therapy.
