Hi,
thank you for query
it may be photodermatitis
Photodermatitis, sometimes referred to as sun poisoning or
photoallergy, is a form of
allergic contact dermatitis in which theallergen must be activated by light to sensitize the
allergic response, and to cause a rash or other systemic effects on subsequent exposure. The second and subsequent exposures produce photoallergic skin conditions which are often eczematous.
Many medications and conditions can cause sun sensitivity, including:
• Psoralens, coal tars, photo-active dyes (eosin, acridine orange)
• Musk ambrette, methylcoumarin, lemon oil (may be present in fragrances)
• PABA (found in sunscreens)
• Salicylanilide (found in industrial cleaners)
• St John's Wort, used to treat clinical depression
• Hexachlorophene (found in some ℞ antibacterial soaps)
• Contact with sap from Giant Hogweed. Common Rue (Ruta graveolins) is another phototoxic plant commonly found in gardens
•
Tetracycline antibiotics (e.g., tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline)
• Benzoyl peroxide
• Retinoids (e.g.,
isotretinoin)
• NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen sodium)
• Fluoroquinolone antibiotic:
Sparfloxacin in 2% of cases
• Amiodarone, used to treat atrial fibrillation
• Pellagra
Photodermatitis can also be caused by plants. This is called
phytophotodermatitis.
Symptoms
Photdermatitis may result in swelling, a burning sensation, a red itchy rash sometimes resembling small blisters, and peeling of the skin. Nausea may also occur. There may also be blotches where the itching may persist for long periods of time. In these areas an unsightly orange to brown tint may form, usually near or on the face
