Brief Answer:
I have seen such patients before

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Photosensitivity is frequently seen in a number of autoimmune dermatological conditions or in case of systemic conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Applying calamine lotion or some moisturiser would give you some relief.

Lamisil (terbinafine) is used to treat fungal infections. Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive and if your doctor gave it to you, it could be since he suspects autoimmune cause.

Please do not worry. Remain in follow up of your dermatologist. Such cases are often seen and dermatolgists see such patients practically everyday. Although certain conditions are not curable, they remain reasonably well on treatment.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
