Abstract
Abstract
The aim of this study was to highlight the importance of a diagnostic approach to photodermatoses, selectively review the literature of the past 25 years, and describe the modern nosology of photodermatoses, their clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment.
Photodermatoses are a non-life-threatening condition; however, can cause considerable suffering. Without treatment and preventive measures, symptoms gradually worsen over a number of years and become chronic.
