Polymorphous Light Dermatosis: Prevention

Limiting sun exposure contributes to the prevention of polymorphous light dermatosis.

Prophylaxis is of significant importance. By becoming accustomed to light by means of, for example, phototherapy to general light protection measures (sunscreens with a high sun protection factor (UV-A and UV-B protection), the wearing of caps/hats, etc.), the affected person can prevent or reduce the intensity of the symptoms.
