Background: Occupational exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) is known to cause malignant melanoma (MM) and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). However, knowledge of the causal associations has developed erratically.
Aims: This review aims to identify when it was accepted that workplace solar UV exposure could cause skin cancer and when it was recognized that there was a risk for outdoor workers in Britain, identifying the steps employers should have taken to protect their workers.

We report the case of an 18-month-old boy who developed a phototoxic skin reaction to terbinafine on his scalp, ears, and face in the form of disseminated erythematous plaques, which resembled subacute lupus erythematosus (SCLE) in their clinical presentation. Skin changes appeared a short time after the boy was exposed to sunlight during the period of time when he was treated with oral terbinafine due to Microsporum canis fungal scalp infection. Tinea capitis is a common dermatophyte infection primarily affecting prepubertal children (1).

This study describes two siblings from consanguineous parents who exhibit intellectual disability, microcephaly, photosensitivity, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, numerous freckles, and other clinical features that suggest a potential disruption of the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Whole exome sequencing (WES) identified a novel homozygous missense variant in the gene, which was predicted to be pathogenic. However, a subsequent peculiar audiometric finding prompted further investigation, revealing a homozygous deletion in the gene linked to neurosensorial hearing loss.

UVA radiation and visible light can lead to indirect damage to DNA, proteins, and lipids through photosensitized reactions, where a molecule undergoes a photochemical alteration by the initial absorption of radiation by another molecular entity called photosensitizer (Sens). The chemical changes undergone by biomolecules in photosensitized reactions can trigger important adverse processes such as photoallergy, phototoxicity, and skin cancer, among others. Despite the knowledge about photosensitized reactions and the fact that many endogenous compounds present in the skin can act as Sens, UVA, and visible light are widely used in several devices for domestic and general use without a thorough evaluation of their possible harmful effects; one prominent example is UV-nail polish dryers.
