Photodermatitis is a rather annoying condition and must be treated properly, first of all by asking the right questions. No symptoms are accidental and have their right explanation. You have to understand if this is a problem you have been suffering from for some time or if it is a new thing. Photodermatitis typically represents an allergic reaction to something – drugs or food. But it can also be a psychological problem. A naturopath who is a serious professional does not risk advice, in a situation like this, unless he first collects a complete medical history. I understand that you may be disappointed but I, not knowing you, cannot venture any hypothesis or, even less, suggestions. I cordially greet you and I am at your disposal for any other questions.

Good morning, if you haven’t done it yet, the first step is to consult a good dermatologist. For the rest, reviewing the diet and fixing the intestine can reduce the symptoms and in some cases improve the problem. On the skin, aloe works very well but is not a solution. Greetings and let me know!

Hello, as already said it is necessary to know more deeply what you are writing about! Were you diagnosed with photodermatitis? Are the itches only in those areas described? How long have you had the problem? And there is so much more to ask, too much to be able to suggest this or that remedy! A fundamental treatment must be made on the constitutional ground and in a causalist way. Greetings Ilaria Porta

It is an exaggerated reaction of the organism, which even under normal conditions triggers a local inflammatory reaction, which, however, almost never reaches the characteristics you mentioned. In addition to the common local creams to defend against these reactions, homeopathically a so-called basic or personalized treatment can certainly improve your response – probably also on a genetic basis – and thus bring it back to that physiology that is least associated with disorders.

Good morning Andrea I try to imagine how annoying it is to live with this symptom. In addition to what my colleagues have suggested – I confirm the validity of the aloe gel – I would like to emphasize the importance of taking care of what is connected to the skin, namely the intestine. We must pay close attention to intestinal transit, the best thing to do is to ensure a daily release of the same and of a certain quality. I suggest you use a vegan or at least vegetarian diet for a period of at least 2 months. Eat more raw fruits and vegetables, start all meals with a rich salad, fruit away from meals, prefer a citrus-based breakfast and use whole grains and organic cereals. Also essential to drink a lot. It would be helpful if you would testify to the changes and benefits of the suggestions you received. Sincerely
