Solar Urticaria
Solar Urticaria is a variety of physical urticaria, caused by sensitivity to sunlight, affecting the exposed parts of the skin. Urticarial lesions begin to develop soon after an exposure has been made to the sun. In the temperate climate, the condition is seasonal, while in the tropics, it may occur throughout the year.
Treatment of Solar Urticaria
The condition is chronic and recurrent. The treatment consists in protecting the skin from sunlight, and the use of antihistaminic. One could try desensitizing the skin by exposing it, by degrees, to the sun.
