What skin condition may be exacerbated by UV exposure?

UV exposure can indeed exacerbate various skin conditions, and in this case, the correct choice highlights the broad range of issues that can be intensified by such exposure.

Eczema is a chronic condition that leads to inflamed, itchy skin. While some individuals may experience temporary relief from symptoms in the short term due to UV exposure, prolonged exposure can ultimately lead to worsened irritation and increase the likelihood of flare-ups.

Psoriasis is another skin condition characterized by rapid skin cell production, leading to red, scaly patches. UV light, particularly from sunlight, can sometimes help in treating psoriasis; however, excessive UV exposure can damage the skin and result in more severe outbreaks.

Acne is a condition where the sebaceous glands become clogged and inflamed, leading to pimples and lesions. Sun exposure can initially dry out acne lesions, making them look better temporarily; however, excess UV exposure can lead to skin irritation and hyperpigmentation, complicating the condition and potentially leading to further skin problems.

Given the potential for UV exposure to worsen these conditions and the varying individual responses to such exposure, recognizing that all three conditions—eczema, psoriasis, and acne—can be negatively affected underscores the importance of careful management and protection from UV light for those affected
