Abstract:
Reports of contact sensitization and photocontact sensitization induced by various sunscreening agents are reviewed. Current knowledge about the most often used sunscreening agents is summarized. The problems of cross-sensitization and sensitization in photodermatoses are discussed. Strategies for patch and photopatch testing, as well as immediate-type testing, are critically evaluated.
