Medical Conditions - Photosensitivity

Photosensitivity is an unusual reaction of skin towards UV (ultraviolet radiation) from sunlight or tanning beds. The affected person may develop itchy eruptions or areas of redness and inflammation on the patches of the sun-exposed skin. It is managed by applying sunscreen on the skin while going out and limiting time spent under the sun.
