Being photosensitive is a reality for many people and can have annoying symptoms:

Being photosensitive means that any exposure--especially excessive exposure--to sunlight can cause rashes on the skin, with the severity of the rashes varying from person to person. These rashes can appear as pink or red rashes, blotchy blisters, raised spots on the skin or scaly patches. Sometimes these rashes can be very uncomfortable, itchy or burn.

There are others causes to keep in mind that can trigger photosensitivity:

Certain herbs and oils used in aromatherapy have been shown to cause the skin to become sensitive to light. If you're a fan of getting massages at the day spa, be sure to ask what oils your massage therapist is using.

The best way to treat photosensitive skin is to be on your guard at all times and to protect your skin:

If you are experiencing photosensitivity due to meds, herbs or as a health condition in general, be sure to use sunscreen or sunblock on a daily basis anytime you plan on being out in the sun, wear protective clothing and hats, include vitamins such as beta-carotene and vitamin E in your diet, and avoid excessive sun exposure.

According to the Skincare News Team’s sources, photosensitivity is a serious condition that shouldn’t be taken lightly and requires a deal of work and attention to maintain.
