Abstract

Actinic reticuloid (AR) is a persistent, immune-mediated photo dermatosis induced by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, either by UVA, UVB or visible light and is considered an entity of Chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD). CAD consists of a spectrum of diseases including Actinic reticuloid (AR), photosensitive eczema, and persistent light reactivity. In addition to photosensitivity, most patients also show contact sensitivity to several allergens. It is characterised by pruritic, eczematous and lichenified plaques over the photo-exposed sites.[1] [4]

Keywords
