  • Title: Dihydroxyacetone naphthoquinone protection against photosensitivity.
    Author: Rice EG.
    Journal: Dermatologica; 1976; 153(1):38-43. PubMed ID: 791716.
    Abstract:
    30 patients with multiple types of sunlight sensitivity were treated successfully with DHA/lawsone sunscreen. This sunscreen was able to protect all patients even though their photosensitivities were in different parts of the ultraviolet and visible spectrum. About 80% of the patients experienced sufficient protection during the summer months to lead a virtually normal life-style while participating in all kinds of outdoor activities.
