photosensitized
Rendered light-sensitive chemically
Photosensitized describes something that has been made sensitive to light, particularly in chemistry and biology.
A photosensitized reaction occurs when a substance absorbs light energy and transfers it to trigger a chemical change in another molecule.
Skin can become photosensitized by certain medications, making it more vulnerable to sunburn: The antibiotic left her photosensitized and prone to rashes.
