Photoallergic dermatitis is characterized by qualitatively altered skin sensitivity to sunlight. This alteration occurs as a result of a mutual

interaction between sunlight and a specific photoallergen following an individual's previous sensitization. A photoallergen enters the body

through contact with the skin, orally, or parenterally, and causes photosensitization. During exposure, a skin reaction characterized by erythematous

plaques, not uncommonly with an eruption of papulovesicles, occurs in areas of the skin exposed to light. The paper presents a

case of a 68-year-old female patient who developed photoallergic dermatitis due to a newly introduced treatment with fenofibrate.
