Solar urticaria: a case report.

Albert Tsien, Howard M. Schanker

Abstract

Solar urticaria is a rare disorder characterized by erythema, pruritus, and urticaria occurring minutes after exposure to a light source. It is one of several photosensitive conditions, such as phototoxic reaction, photoallergic reaction, systemic lupus erythematosus, and porphyria, that can cause photosensitivity. Herein we report a case of solar urticaria and review the rational approaches to its diagnosis and treatment.
