Abstract :
[en] Many studies showed the high frequency of cutaneous intolerances to ketoprofen but in 85 percent of them, these are photoallergies. The Belgian dematologists published an article a few years ago, demonstrating that it is important to avoid prescription of topical ketoprofen during sunny periods. Our experience showed the risks of lesions without exposing to UV radiations. These gels, on free sale, are widely used by the public. In physiotherapy, they are also regularly used by practitioners who rarely know the risk of photoallergies and often ignore the possibility of burn. In France, many questions have already been asked about these gels and they were even the object of a temporary withdrawal.
