photosensitised
Rendered light-sensitive chemically
Photosensitised describes something that has been made sensitive to light, or a chemical reaction that has been triggered or enhanced by a light-sensitive substance.
In photography, photosensitised paper responds to light exposure.
In medicine and biology, photosensitised skin reacts abnormally to sunlight, often due to certain drugs or conditions: The medication left her photosensitised and prone to sunburn.
