Photosensitivity disorders are conditions where the skin exhibits an abnormal reaction to sunlight or artificial light sources. These disorders can manifest as rashes, redness, or blistering upon exposure, often affecting individuals with underlying skin conditions like lupus erythematosus or those taking certain medications. Dermatological management includes identifying triggers, advising on sun protection measures such as broad-spectrum sunscreens, and recommending protective clothing. In cosmetology, professionals should consider the use of hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic products to minimize irritation. Treatment may also involve topical corticosteroids or phototherapy under medical supervision. Education on the importance of sun safety and recognizing early symptoms is essential for effective management and prevention of complications.
