Talk:Photodermatitis

message: The symptoms listed in this article do not differentiate Photodermatitis from a sunburn.  The differences between the two should be made clear in this article.  As it is, the article appears to describe a sunburn scientifically, but I am aware that the two are quite different.  For example, I was under the impression that Photodermatitis results in hives, etc. upon sun exposure, though this is not described in the article.  --DavidGC 21:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photodermatitis vs. Sunburn 

message: Under the heading "Causes," the statement "Many medications cause sun sensitivity, including:" and then the condition "Pellagra" comes up.  This would seem to be a medication, but is actually a condition resulting from a vitamin deficiency, particularly niacin.  
Yes, the condition Pellagra does cause photodermatitis, but it is not a medication and the aforementioned statement should either be corrected or moved.

thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: In its current form, this entry also fits the similar condition Chronic Actinic Dermatitis, which seems to fit under ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 692.74. Photodermatitis would fit under 692.72 (former chronic, latter acute, although the chronicity may be irregular rather than continuous). I'm not familiar enough with Wikipedia to know how best to reconcile the articles as the symptoms/conditions certainly overlap. I'd say it would do little harm to have CAD redirect to the other, with some cleanup.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thekx (talk • contribs) 11:20, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Different names for same condition 

message: I was curious at the mention of only two NSAIDs as an "e.g." when the entire class is being implied as causal. Aspirin is by some sources not considered an NSAID, although Wikipedia takes this view, and is sometimes suggested as a remedy for PD, so it seems that it not capable of causing this presentation. Also, our article on drug eruption says that piroxicam can cause PD. Another source also gives diclofenac and carprofen as culprits, in addition to piroxicam. Mentioning only ibuprofen and naproxen seems superficial (pun intended), as these are not used topically, this application creating a more significant morbidity for the same dosage than systemic use. So to me, there seems good cause in mentioning dic, pirox and carp as well (plus, sourcing!!!). Samsara 01:23, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  NSAIDs that cause this 

message: Should this article be combined with Phytophotodermatitis? Seems like the latter just deals with the subset caused by plants... Tenbergen (talk) 23:50, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
