Also known as photoallergic contact dermatitis, photoallergic eczema

Photodermatitis, sometimes referred to as sun poisoning or photoallergy, is a form of allergic dermatitis in which the allergen is 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. It is distinct from sunburn.

Fotodermatit eller fotoallergisk dermatit, är ett slags ljuskänslighet i huden som utlöses med viss fördröjning antingen av solljus enbart eller av en kombination av ljus och någon substans som framkallar överkänslighet. Dermatiten ifråga kan yttra sig i blåsor, eksem eller varbildningar i huden. Det uppstår för att kroppens immunförsvar reagerar på UV-strålarna i solen.
