The sun is a source of positive and good mood. It's no secret that in sunny weather people get better feelings and thoughts about nature, about a long stay in a country estate, about visiting exotic countries, about the sea. The sun and once again the sun - what can be compared with its attracting and golden rays? What can be more beautiful than this feeling? Everything is wonderful and you can enjoy life! However, in recent years, cases of sun allergies have increased, which is manifested after sunburn with lightning fastness or, conversely, for several hours, or after a few days. Such an organism reaction to irradiation is caused by a phototoxic reaction or, as it is customarily called in medicine, photodermatosis. Solar allergy - photodermatitis occurs as a result of a long stay in the sun, with the interaction of rays with chlorinated water, deodorants or perfumes. To prevent allergies, improve immunity and improve health, you need to understand its types.

Types of solar allergy

Phototractive type of reaction. It is a result of prolonged exposure to the sun, which entails ultraviolet irradiation, which causes sunburn. Therefore, one can not spend much time in the sun, even a perfectly healthy person, especially at lunchtime.

A photographic form of the reaction. It manifests itself in the form of burns: blisters, erythema, edema. It is caused by the medicinal application of injectable or oral agents, products, herbs, which contain photosensitizers.

Photoallergic form of the reaction. The process that occurs in those people whose organism for unknown reasons rejects the UFO, and this leads to the fact that the skin and mucous membrane reacts to solar activity as a foreign, hostile and toxic external stimulus. In other words, this is a violation of immunity, which is manifested by thickening of the skin, accompanied by a rash, followed by a disruption of pigmentation, which makes the skin frayed and rough.

Risk group. Based on the foregoing, it is possible to identify the risk groups for internal causes of the body, which includes persons:

• with various disorders of the immune system;
• with the disease of the endocrine system;
• with liver and kidney disease.

Symptoms of allergy in the sun

Solar allergy is so diverse andis heterogeneous, which can vary and vary from many causes that depend on both the person's age and many other factors associated with internal or external provocation. The most common symptoms are the following:

• Allergy caused by sunlight. It appears on the face, on the hands and feet, but if the detection is found on the chest, then in its place you can see uneven surfaces that have reddened and swollen foci, a noticeable roughness that causes pain and itching. There are redness, a rash, abscesses.
• At the site of the focus appears bleeding, which is caused by the appearance of a crust or scales of the skin.
• The most common allergy is in the form of small vesicles, hives, eczema.
• All the symptoms and signs of allergy caused by solar overheating, appear not only in those places where there was the greatest exposure to sunlight, but also far from the place of ultraviolet radiation.

Thus, as practice shows,a perfectly healthy and physically strong organism should not be allergic, but this does not mean that safety rules should be neglected. First of all, this disease is inflicted on infants and small children who are not strong after the disease, elderly people and people with a large number of chronic diseases.
