Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Photodermatology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Ketoprofen gels are frequently used for benign conditions.
  • Local intolerance, including eczema and photoallergy, is a common adverse effect.
  • Reactions can be severe, spreading beyond application sites and causing generalized responses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the mechanisms behind ketoprofen-induced contact photosensitization.
  • To identify potential cross-reactivity with other substances.

Main Methods:

  • Photoallergological testing was employed for diagnosis.
  • Analysis of the chemical structure of ketoprofen was performed.

Main Results:

  • Photoallergological tests confirmed ketoprofen-induced contact photosensitization.
  • The benzophenone ring in ketoprofen was identified as a key factor.
  • Cross-allergies with fenofibrate and oxybenzone were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Ketoprofen's benzophenone structure contributes to photosensitivity reactions.
  • Patient and prescriber education on sun avoidance is essential.
  • Awareness of potential cross-reactivity is important for managing adverse reactions.
