Study Notes
Photodermatoses Overview
- Photodermatoses are conditions caused by abnormal skin reactions to sunlight.
- Types include idiopathic photosensitivity, drug/chemical induced, DNA repair deficiency, and photoaggravated conditions.
- Pathophysiology varies across types.
- Photoprotection is crucial for management.
Photoprotection Strategies
- Wear protective clothing.
- Use broad-spectrum sunscreens.
- Avoid photosensitizing drugs/chemicals.
Sunlight's Importance and Impact
- Sunlight is vital for life, impacting various metabolic, endocrine, and physiological processes.
- Sunlight's effect on skin is a major concern, especially in regions like India with high sun exposure.
Solar Spectrum and Skin Effects
- The sun emits a range of electromagnetic radiation, from high-energy cosmic rays to lower-energy visible light.
