Multiple cutaneous allergens may be identified in patients with chronic actinic dermatoses, and avoidance of known allergens may result in significant improvement of the chronicdermatitis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The basic components of this disease are a persistent, chronic, eczematous eruption in the absence of exposure to known photosensitizers; photosensitivity to UVA, and/or UVB, and/or visible light; and histology consistent with a chronicdermatitis with[scopemed.org]

RESULTS: Among all the 40 patients, two (5%) were clinically cured and 23 (57.5%) achieved excellent results, making a total effective rate of 62.5%; 14 (35%) were improved; and one (2.5%) case was withdrawn due to intolerable itching at the locally applied[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

BACKGROUND: Chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) is a recurrent photosensitive dermatitis that occurs predominantly on sun-exposed areas with unknown etiology.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A variety of etiologies such as photoallergic, phototoxic, immunologic and metabolic factors have been postulated in CAD. It is initiated and clinically triggered with exposure to sunlight and artificial radiation.[scopemed.org]
