	Photodermatitis
		Photodermatitis is an abnormal skin response to ultraviolet (UV) rays, particularly sunlight.
		UV rays are classified by wavelength and the greater the wavelength, the greater the risk of developing photodermatitis.
		While scientific studies of homeopathy specifically addressing photodermatitis have not been conducted to date, individual reports suggest that homeopathic remedies may be a useful adjunct for the prevention and treatment of photodermatitis.

	Photodermatitis.html
		Photodermatitis is an itchy, scaly, blistery, reddening of the skin, caused by an increase of the skin’s normal sensitivity to the effects of sunlight or ultraviolet rays A or B (UVA or UVB).
		Once photodermatitis has occurred, the basis of therapy is to minimize the inflammation in the damaged skin while treating painful symptoms as well.
		Once you have had photodermatitis, your skin will be sensitive to the combination of sun and the chemical you are sensitized to indefinitely.

		Long-term effects of photodermatitis include chronic skin thickening and scarring, and increased risk of skin cancer in patients with a genetic source of their dermatitis.

	Photodermatitis
		Photodermatitis is an abnormal response to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) that can be acute or chronic.
		The history and physical examination are the most important diagnostic tools for photodermatitis, particularly when focused on the time of year and duration of exposure leading to eruptions; duration, distribution, and morphology of eruptions; and age, sex, occupation, topical application, skin exposures, medication, recreational activities, and family history of the patient.
		Given the immunologic, inflammatory, and often recurrent nature of photodermatitis, it seems logical that certain CAM approaches or modalities would be helpful adjuncts to conventional care, particularly in reducing the frequency and severity of reactions.

		Photodermatitis, neurodermatitis, a nervous condition, and weakness of the extremities are not conditions subject to presumptive service connection due to exposure to herbicides during service.
		In the present case, the veteran's evidentiary assertions as to a link between Agent Orange exposure and his currently claimed conditions, including a nervous condition, a skin condition (to include photodermatitis, neurodermatitis, and chloracne), and weakness of extremities, are beyond his competence.
