Abstract

Chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) is an uncommon photosensitive disorder, which occurs predominantly in elderly men. CAD is characterised by chronic eczema, which is usually severe, is accentuated in light-exposed sites, and persists all year but is worse in summertime. CAD is associated with abnormal responses to ultraviolet (UV) radiation on testing with broad-band or monochromator sources.
