Sun Allergy & Photosensitivity Treatment

Understanding Sun Allergies

Sun allergy (photosensitivity) causes the immune system to react to sunlight, resulting in rashes, blisters, or hives. At Madika Aesthetics in Sarjapur, we diagnose and treat various types of sun-related skin conditions.

Types of Sun Allergies

• Polymorphous Light Eruption (PMLE): Most common sun allergy
• Solar Urticaria: Hives from sun exposure
• Photoallergic Reaction: Triggered by chemicals + sunlight
• Actinic Prurigo: Hereditary sun sensitivity

Treatment Options

• Topical Corticosteroids: Reduce inflammation and itching
• Antihistamines: Control allergic reactions
• Phototherapy: Gradual UV exposure to build tolerance
• Immunosuppressants: For severe cases
• Sun Protection Education: Proper sunscreen use and avoidance strategies
