Photodermatitis vs. Sunburn
The symptoms listed in this article do not differentiate Photodermatitis from a sunburn. The differences between the two should be made clear in this article. As it is, the article appears to describe a sunburn scientifically, but I am aware that the two are quite different. For example, I was under the impression that Photodermatitis results in hives, etc. upon sun exposure, though this is not described in the article. --DavidGC 21:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Photodermatitis vs. Sun Poisoning
The article claims that Photodermatitus and sun poisoning are one in the same. This is false. Sun poisoning is a reaction to overexposure to the sun and has nothing to do with extra sensitivity to it. Evidence of this can be found in the links below or, if you prefer, by asking anyone who has lived in the state of Florida for any length of time. lol I do not edit this article myself due to my inexperiance in doing such an infamiliarity with the diting guidlines of wikipedia. Granted there is a lot of misinformation on this subject, here are a few links which support what I have written here. [1] [2]
