It is classified into the following groups: Primary photodermatoses: Polymorphic light eruption. Juvenile spring eruption. Actinic folliculitis. Actinic prurigo. Solar urticaria. Chronic actinic/photosensitivity dermatitis. Hydroa vacciniforme (associated with Epstein-Barr virus). Exogenous photodermatoses: Drug-induced photosensitivity: common photosensitising drugs are thiazides, tetracyclines, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), phenothiazines, voriconazole, quinine, vemurafenib. Photocontact dermatitis: due to phototoxic chemicals such as psoralens in plants, vegetables, fruit; fragrances in cosmetics; sunscreen chemicals; dyes and disinfectants. Pseudoporphyria: induced by drugs and/or renal insufficiency. Photoexacerbated dermatoses: Lupus erythematosus. Dermatomyositis. Darier disease. Rosacea. Pemphigus vulgaris. Pemphigus foliaceus. Atopic dermatitis. Psoriasis. Metabolic photodermatoses (rare): Porphyria cutanea tarda. Erythropoietic protoporphyria. Variegate porphyria. Erythropoietic porphyria (Gunther disease).
