Abstract: 【Abstract】 Chronic actinic dermatitis is a photosensitive dermatosis commonly occurring in middle-aged and elderly males, clinically characterized by eczematous lesions on the sun-exposed skin. The diagnosis mainly relies on clinical manifestations and photobiological tests. The key to treatment is avoidance of sunlight exposure and removal of photosensitizers, and other treatments include topical drugs, physical therapy, systemic drugs, etc. Based on recent research advances in chronic actinic dermatitis in China and other countries, the Dermatology Professional Committee of Chinese Research Hospital Society and the China Dermatologist Association organized experts in the field of photodermatology to discuss the causes, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of chronic actinic dermatitis in clinical practice, and to develop an expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of chronic actinic dermatitis (2023), which provided a scientific and authoritative reference for the diagnosis and management of chronic actinic dermatitis.
