Abstract

Photoallergic reactions are hypersensitivity reactions which occur when ultraviolet radiation interacts with ingredients in drugs or other products applied directly to the skin. The body’s immune system recognizes the changes caused by ultraviolet radiation as a foreign threat, so it produces antibodies and causes inflammation of the skin in the exposed areas. Common photoallergic drugs and ingredients are included in some sunscreens, aftershave lotions, antimicrobials (especially sulfonamides), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), chemotherapy drugs and fragrances.
