Photosensitivity skin disorders in childhood.
[kindler syndrome]
Photosensitivity
in
childhood
is
caused
by
a
diverse
group
of
diseases
.
A
specific
sensitivity
of
a
child
's
skin
to
ultraviolet
light
is
often
the
first
manifestation
or
a
clinical
symptom
of
photodermatosis
.
It
might
indicate
a
serious
underlying
systemic
disease
such
as
lupus
erythematosus
or
dermatomyositis
,
or
a
rare
group
of
genetic
skin
disorders
like
Xeroderma
pigmentosum
,
Cockayne
syndrome
,
Trichothyodystrophy
,
Bloom
syndrome
,
Rothmund-
Thomson
and
Kindler
syndrome
as
well
as
metabolic
disorders
and
cutaneous
porphyria
.
Photosensitivity
secondary
to
topical
or
systemic
agents
may
also
cause
photosensitivity
in
children
.
Early
recognition
and
prompt
diagnosis
may
prevent
complications
associated
with
unprotected
exposure
to
sunlight
and
avoid
actinic
injuries
that
can
lead
to
malignant
skin
changes
.
