Presentation
It is also important to differentiate AR from mycosis fungoides (MF), which may present with similar clinical and histopathologic findings [ 3 ]. [omicsonline.org]
A discussion of chronic actinic dermatitis is presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The clinical presentation was that of an intense eczematous eruption affecting exposed sites but spreading elsewhere. [scinapse.io]
Musculoskeletal
- Proximal Muscle Weakness
Proximal muscle weakness and bony tenderness resulting from the disorder resolved on vitamin D replacement therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Skin
- Eczema
Fourteen of the eighty-nine patients with CAD (16%) had preceding endogenous eczema. In 18 of 86 patients (21%), CAD occurred alone, with neither detectable contact nor photocontact allergy, nor a preceding history of endogenous eczema. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Pruritus
There was disappearance of pruritus, erythema, scaling and infiltration in spite of exposure to sunlight and tapering off of steroids. [e-ijd.org]
Tacrolimus ointment led to significant improvement of pruritus and severe eczematous skin lesions after 20 days of treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pruritus is not usual. Desquamation and hyperpigmentation can occur. Usually self-limiting. Management [ 26 ] Avoidance of plants/sunlight. [patient.info]
Psychiatrical
- Withdrawn
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achieved excellent results, making a total effective rate of 62.5%; 14 (35%) were improved; and one (2.5%) case was withdrawn due to intolerable itching at the locally applied [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The halogenated salicylanilides, which were responsible chiefly for photoallergic dermatitis more than two decades ago, have been withdrawn from the market as agents to be employed against bacteria topically. [derm101.com]

Treatment
Patients totally received 27 times of treatments in average. 87.5% of previously ultraviolet B(UVB) sensitive patients and 75% of previously ultraviolet A(UVA) sensitive patients had normal or improved MED after phototherapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Loss of contact allergies was not associated with a different prognosis for photosensitivity resolution. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology is currently unknown, and the prognosis is unpredictable with some individuals experiencing spontaneous remission [ 1, 7 ]. Diagnosis can be made by phototesting, patch testing, and biopsy [ 7 ]. [omicsonline.org]
The prognosis for the associated contact allergic dermatitis is even worse, with some predicting chronic actinic dermatitis. [dermatitisfacts.com]
Etiology
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]
BACKGROUND: Chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) is a recurrent photosensitive dermatitis that occurs predominantly on sun-exposed areas with unknown etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
DEFINITION: It is a common eczematous photodermatosis i.e., an itchy, inflammatory skin disorder caused due to sun exposure persisting for long term. 2 3. 3 ETIOLOGY: Action Spectrum- UVA, UVB, Visible light. [slideshare.net]

Epidemiology
BACKGROUND: Chronic actinic dermatitis is a photosensitivity disorder with scant epidemiologic data. Case series in Europe have previously shown that improvement or resolution of chronic actinic dermatitis occurs over time in most patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Chronic Actinic Dermatitis EPIDEMIOLOGY Chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) has regularly been diagnosed in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, United States, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and India, and patients from Africa have also been seen. [dermaamin.com]
Prevention
Therefore, it is suggested that tacrolimus may prevent UV-B induced erythema by suppressing a very early phase of the inflammatory process in CAD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Photoprotection advice should include environmental measures (use of window film to prevent UVA transmission and avoidance of single envelope compact fluorescent lamps for those with extreme UVA and visible light sensitivity), behavioral measures (including [clinicalgate.com]
