  • Phototoxic Drug (or Chemical) Induced Photosensitivity, also known as Drug (or Chemical) Induced Phototoxic Reaction
  • Photoallergic Drug (or Chemical) Induced Photosensitivity, also known as Drug (or Chemical) Induced Photoallergic Reaction

Phototoxic Drug (or Chemical) Induced Photosensitivity occurs when there is a reaction between drugs (or chemicals) and ultraviolet (UV) light.

• Usually the individual is taking certain medications/drugs or using certain chemicals; but, when there is an exposure to UV light, the individual develops an adverse skin reaction
• The drugs/chemicals may be used for treatment or cosmetic purposes, or there may be an occupational exposure while working in agricultural fields or in an industrial plant. The chemical may also be commonly used in the kitchen or toilets, such as a cleaning fluid
• The signs and symptoms of Phototoxic Drug (or Chemical) Induced Photosensitivity can be local (confined to an area of skin) or systemic (widespread in the body). Thus, not only the skin, but other body parts and organs can also be affected. And, depending on the condition type it is classified as:
  • Topical Phototoxic Dermatitis: It is caused by cosmetics, therapeutic drugs, or industrial chemicals and the signs and symptoms are limited to the area of application/exposure
  • Systemic Phototoxic Dermatitis: It is caused by a photosensitizing drug/chemical and the condition affects several parts of the body or the entire body
• The primary treatment for Phototoxic Drug (or Chemical) Induced Photosensitivity is discontinuation or stoppage of the offending medication/drug/chemical. The prognosis of the condition is typically excellent with suitable treatment
