Photodermatitis :

Photodermatitis is an inflammatory condition in which one experiences inappropriate reactions either to sunlight or artificial light. It leads to irritation on the skin, which might emerge due to sensitization by UV radiation often as a result of medications, cosmetics or chemicals causing irritation on the skin. Some common agents include some antibiotics, fragrances, and topical agents. Common manifestations include redness, itching, and swelling of the skin that has been exposed to the sun. Some manifestations may be delayed to appear hours or days after sun exposure. More severe cases may experience blistering, peeling that may start, together with pain.

The treatment is mostly conservative. This can include sun protection, identification of provocating factors, and topical corticosteroids that can further lower inflammation and itch. Oral antihistamines can be given as an adjunct on the same line. Prophylactic measures encompass protective clothing and broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF, combined with prohibition from exposure to known allergens or irritants in the case of photodermatitis. If symptoms persist or worsen the patient should see a dermatologist.
