Photodermatitis sometimes referred to as sun poisoning or photoallergy is a form of allergic contact dermatitis in which the allergen must be activated by light to sensitize the allergic response and to cause a rash or other systemic effects on subsequent exposure. The second and subsequent exposures produce photoallergic skin conditions which are often eczematous.
