Even a correct dose of sunlight does not always relax and soothe the skin; for some people it causes inflammation, redness, itching, wheals or blisters. To some extent these occurrences are due to metabolic disorders, following the use of medicines, sun screen, substances containing perfume or following contact with certain plants.
Determining the cause commonly requires extensive diagnostics for which the DERMATOLOGIKUM HAMBURG offers special irradiation devices. Following a diagnosis, avoiding the triggers and creating a personalised plan for the correct contact with the sun will virtually always yield a considerable improvement of the symptoms.
