There is evidence that actinic prurigo is worsened by compact fluorescent light. This disease affects 3.3% of the general population. 3.1% of the population [citation needed] suffer from solar urticaria, a skin disorder affected by ultraviolet light. Some patients are directly affected by compact fluorescent light.

While reactions to UV radiation is common, true photodermatoses is considered when an abnormal reaction is caused by UV-A rays or radiation between 320 and 400 nm.
