  • Title: Photodermatoses in India.
    Author: Srinivas CR, Sekar CS, Jayashree R.
    Journal: Indian J Dermatol Venereol Leprol; 2012 Jun; 78 Suppl 1():S1-8. PubMed ID: 22710108.
    Abstract:
    Photodermatoses are a group of disorders resulting from abnormal cutaneous reactions to solar radiation. They include idiopathic photosensitive disorders, drug or chemical induced photosensitivity reactions, DNA repair-deficiency photodermatoses and photoaggravated dermatoses. The pathophysiology differs in these disorders but photoprotection is the most integral part of their management. Photoprotection includes wearing photoprotective clothing, applying broad spectrum sunscreens and avoiding photosensitizing drugs and chemicals.
