Genetic photodermatoses are a group of heredity-linked disorders in which the skin becomes more sensitive to certain wavelengths of sunlight, leading to undesired physiological effects. These disorders are usually diagnosed in childhood and can have lifelong consequences. Most genetic photodermatoses are caused by genetic defects that result in the inability to properly express certain enzymes, proteins, or receptors that are essential for protecting the skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Commonly affected areas include the face, neck, upper arms, and hands, which are most often exposed to ultraviolet radiation during the day. Symptoms can include severe reddening, blistering, and itchiness of the skin and in some cases, even loss of pigmentation. In order to diagnose a genetic photodermatosis, skin biopsies and tests are usually necessary to identify the underlying genetic mutation. Other tests may be needed to assess the minimum amount of UV radiation that triggers a reaction. Once a patient is diagnosed, treatment is aimed at preventing further skin damage, such as the use of broad-spectrum sunscreens. Other treatments may include UV radiation moreover, photoprotective clothing and goggles. For those with genetic photodermatoses, precautions should be taken to avoid painful flare-ups. Wearing sun-protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and seeking shade is recommended when going outdoors. In addition, applying sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher before going out in the sun is recommended. Though the effects of genetic photodermatoses can be challenging to manage, those affected can still lead healthy, full lives. With close medical monitoring and ongoing skincare, symptoms can be managed with success, allowing patients protection from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation.
