Sunscreen allergy and photoallergy are common, affecting 15.4% of patients with suspected photodermatitis. Oxybenzone and isopropyl dibenzoylmethane were frequent culprits, highlighting the need for comprehensive sunscreen allergy testing.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergology
  • Photodermatology

Background:

  • Photodermatitis encompasses various light-induced skin conditions.
  • Contact allergy and photoallergy to sunscreen ingredients are increasingly recognized.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for managing photosensitive patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of sunscreen contact allergy and/or photoallergy.
  • To identify specific sunscreen ingredients causing allergic reactions in patients with suspected photodermatitis.

Main Methods:

  • Patch and photopatch testing were conducted on 370 patients.
  • Testing utilized the French Society of Photodermatology (SFPD) standard series.
  • Data collected between January 1990 and December 1994.

Main Results:

  • A total of 57 cases (15.4%) of allergy or photoallergy to sunscreens were diagnosed.
  • Oxybenzone was implicated in 27 cases.
  • Isopropyl dibenzoylmethane was implicated in 14 cases.

Conclusions:

  • Sunscreen allergy and photoallergy are significant concerns in patients with photodermatitis.
  • Routine photopatch testing should include a comprehensive evaluation of sunscreen ingredients.
  • Oxybenzone and isopropyl dibenzoylmethane are common allergens in sunscreens.
