What are photosensitive foods? Why does it cause atopic dermatitis?
Hello and thank you for your question.
The term photosensitizing foods refers to a group of foods that, when used, increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight, and in large quantities may lead to atopic dermatitis, as well as an increase in melanin synthesis.
In addition to photosensitizing foods, there are also photosensitizing medications that we should be aware of, and if you need to be outside for long periods of time while taking these medications, you need to pay extra attention to protecting your skin.
Below is a table summarizing photosensitive foods and medications for reference, and feel free to forward or save for future reference.
