SIR, Dr DifFey and colleagues (British Journal of Dermatology 1984, no, 190) in their paper on a dermatological photobiology service, suggest that the term 'chronic actinic dermatitis' was introduced by Ramsay in 1981.1 think it should be noted that this term was first proposed by Hawk and Magnus (1979) to encompass both actinic reticuloid and photosensitive eczema and transitional states between them.
