Photosensitivity is a condition where the skin or eyes become overly sensitive to sunlight or artificial light. This can lead to reactions such as rashes, redness, or discomfort when exposed to bright light. People with photosensitivity may have conditions like lupus or xeroderma pigmentosum, which make them more vulnerable to light. In some cases, photosensitivity can also affect the eyes, causing symptoms like glare, discomfort, or even vision problems. Certain medications, such as antibiotics or diuretics, can increase sensitivity to light. It is important for individuals with photosensitivity to take precautions, such as wearing protective clothing or using sunscreen.
