As soon as you get sun allergy, you should see a doctor right away so that you don’t get any major consequences.
What is Photodermatitis?
Photodermatitis, also called sun allergy or photosensitivity, is a skin reaction that happens when sunlight, especially ultraviolet (UV) rays, interacts with certain substances on or in the skin. These substances can come from medicines, perfumes, plants, or chemicals. When exposed to sunlight, the skin becomes red, itchy, swollen, and may develop blisters or rashes. Some people are more sensitive due to medical conditions or genetic factors. The reaction usually appears on body parts that get sunlight, such as the face, neck, arms, or hands. Treatment includes avoiding sun exposure, wearing protective clothing, using sunscreen, and applying soothing creams. In severe cases, a doctor may prescribe antihistamines or corticosteroid creams.
Causes of Photodermatitis
Sunlight (UV rays): The main trigger that reacts with sensitive substances on or in the skin.
Medications:Certain drugs like antibiotics (e.g., tetracyclines), diuretics, and painkillers can increase sun sensitivity.
Plants: Contact with plants like lime, celery, or parsley can cause a reaction when exposed to sunlight (known as phytophotodermatitis).
Perfumes and cosmetics:Some fragrances and chemicals can make the skin more sensitive to UV light.
Medical conditions:Diseases like lupus or eczema may increase the risk of sun reactions.
