UV light sensitivity

UV light sensitivity refers to how the skin or eyes react when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun or artificial sources. Some individuals have a heightened response, experiencing symptoms like redness, itching, or blistering after minimal exposure. This occurs due to an overreaction of their immune system or a lower tolerance to UV radiation, often caused by genetic factors or skin conditions. Sensitive individuals should take precautions such as wearing sunscreen, protective clothing, and sunglasses to reduce their risk of damage and discomfort from UV exposure.
