Actinic prurigo is a rare sunlight-induced, pruritic, papular or nodular skin eruption. Ultraviolet light seems to the main provoking agents. Symptoms include itchy, inflammed papules, nodules, and plagues on the skin. It is often seen in the American Indians. If you have actinic prurigo, you should avoid sun exposure and use strong sunscreen throughout the year, even on cloudy days. Drugs for actinic prurigo include topical steroid creams such as Tacrolimus and Betamethasone, and systemic immunosuppressants such as Prednisone.
