| The pigment products which are deposited in the skin cause secondary [[Photosensitisation|'''photosensitisation''']]. This manifests as a crusting dermatitis in non-pigmented areas of the skin which are exposed to sunlight. Cattle are often affected over their face, around their eyes and over any white patches of the body. | | The pigment products which are deposited in the skin cause secondary [[Photosensitisation|'''photosensitisation''']].
