Photosensitivity disorders are among the most common diseases in dermatology 1,2 . They are usually classified into the following subgroups: idiopathic, exogenous, photo-aggravated, metabolic, and genetic photodermatosis 3,4 . Phototesting is often required for the diagnosis of some idiopathic photodermatosis as polymorphous light eruption (PLE), solar urticaria, chronic actinic dermatitis, and hydroa vacciniforme and for the diagnosis of exogenous photodermatosis as photocontact dermatitis (PCD) and systemic photosensitization. It can also be useful when it is negative in the diagnosis of photoexacerbated atopic dermatitis. However, fewer and fewer

The Global Guidelines in Dermatology Mapping Project (GUIDEMAP) assesses the methodological quality of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for high‐burden skin diseases. This review focuses on contact dermatitis. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Emcare, Epistemonikos, PsycINFO and Academic Search Premier for CPGs published between 1 November 2018 and 1 November 2023. Prespecified guideline resources were hand searched. Two authors independently undertook screening, data extraction and quality assessments. Instruments used were the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II Reporting Checklist, the U.S. Institute of Medicine's (IOM) criteria of trustworthiness, The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's National Guideline Clearinghouse Extent Adherence to Trustworthy Standards (NEATS) Instrument and Lenzer's Red Flags. Twenty five CPGs were included, exhibiting heterogeneity in both the topics they addressed and their methodological quality. Whereas the CPGs on management of hand eczema from Denmark, Europe and the Netherlands scored best, most CPGs fell short of being clear, unbiased, trustworthy and evidence‐based. Disclosure of conflicts of interest scored well, and areas needing improvement include ‘strength and wording of recommendations’, ‘applicability’, ‘updating’ and ‘external review’. Adhering to AGREE II and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) enhances methodological quality.

“…Despite these giant steps forward, photopatch testing is not so widely performed. In a survey by P. Lehmann in the beginning of 2000, only a few dozen clinics in Europe were performing photopatch tests, and only 2 centers tested more than 50 patients/year [2], and this still holds true in a recent survey in Germany [4]. Also, in a specialized photobiology service, only a medium of 78/244 patients with photodermatoses undergo photopatch testing [5].…”

Photopatch testing is a procedure that combines patch testing with UV irradiation. It is primarily indicated to study photoallergic contact dermatitis, but it can also contribute to establish a correct diagnosis of any exposed site dermatitis or systemic drug photosensitivity. Photopatch testing has been standardized with the input of the European Society of Contact Dermatitis and European Society of Photodermatology, but it is still seldom performed. It consists on the application of two sets of allergens for 1 or 2 days, irradiation of one set at D1 or D2 with 5 J/cm 2 of UVA, and readings immediately after irradiation and two or more days thereafter. A European photopatch test
