What is Photosensitivity Disease?
Diagnosis of photosensitivity disease may be very difficult and need careful history about the duration of exposure to sun as well as duration of the signs and symptoms, the length of time between exposure to sunlight and the development of signs & symptoms (subjective complaints), and visible changes in the skin. Some times age of onset can be very helpful in diagnosing a photosensitivity disease; e.g. acute photosensitivity of erythropoietic protoporphyria generally (almost always) begins during childhood, whereas the chronic photosensitivity of porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) usually begins in the fourth and fifth decades of life.
A history of exposure to drugs (both topical and systemic) and chemicals can provide important clue in diagnosing a photosensitivity disease. Many groups of drugs can cause photosensitivity by phototoxicity or by photoallergy. There are many chemicals which can cause photosensitization like fragrances like musk ambrette (were previously used in numerous cosmetic products).
