Photosensitivity treatment in Celaya

Photosensitivity is an exaggerated reaction of the skin or eyes to light, especially sunlight. In those who have it, an exposure that would be normal for other people can trigger discomfort or lesions.

How it presents: Redness, burning, rashes, or blisters in the exposed areas; when it affects the eyes, there may be intense discomfort in the presence of light.

Contributing factors: Certain medications, some skin conditions, and particular immune system conditions can increase sensitivity to light.

Which specialist evaluates it? The dermatologist studies the skin reactions, the ophthalmologist the eye discomfort, and the allergist contributes when an allergic component is suspected. If your skin or eyes react markedly to the sun, the prudent thing to do is discuss it with a professional to guide protective measures.
