Photodermatitis (photodermatoses) is a group of diseases induced by solar radiation in the presence of hypersensitivity. The effects of UV rays on both the skin and the body as a whole have been known for a long time. Physiological processes in the skin are aimed at protecting against the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation: increased melanin synthesis, thickening of the stratum corneum, conversion of urocanic acid from trans to cis isomer.
