Merge[edit]

Shouldn't this be merged with photodermatitis?--217.227.81.125 09:58, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support merging into photodermatitis. Photoallergy, as defined on this article at this time, is a subset of photodermatitis. --Una Smith (talk) 02:32, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

....Support...and then there is photosensitivity, which is what we'd call it in Australia...Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:15, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photoallergy is a distinctive subtype of photodermatitis, and photosensitivity is a very general term that encapsulates basically everything (even subjective experiences). Hence, I support merging photoallergy with photodermatitis, provided we clarify clearly that most skin reactions to sun/light have nothing to do with the very narrowly defined concept of allergy.
